Sir, concealing a serious hereditary health condition before marriage can lead to annulment or divorce on grounds of fraud under Section 12 of the Hindu Marriage Act or Section 27 of the Special Marriage Act. The spouse may also face civil liability for damages and in extreme cases criminal charges may also apply. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
