I’m a Muslim, and my marriage was arranged through a matchmaker. While we discussed our families’ backgrounds, my education wasn’t brought up. I mistakenly said my education was complete, when it wasn’t. Now, my in-laws are threatening legal action. I’ve already started a degree program to address this. What are the legal implications for me?

Under Indian law, misrepresentation about education during marriage can be grounds for annulment. However, since you’ve started your degree program, your in-laws might find it difficult to prove irreparable harm. It’s best to speak with a lawyer to understand the specific legal implications and potential defenses.
