How can we have our marriage annulled legally?
Can the court get the marriage canceled by the family? We have heard that the family can get it canceled within 3 months.
A marriage can be annulled, but it cannot be canceled by the family unilaterally. Annulment is a legal process that declares a marriage void, typically requiring grounds such as fraud, mental incapacity, or coercion. Under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, either party can file a petition for annulment within three months of marriage if valid grounds exist. The family may influence the decision through legal representation or by supporting one party's petition, but they cannot directly cancel the marriage. It is advisable to consult a lawyer to understand the specific grounds for annulment and navigate the legal proceedings effectively.
In India, the annulment of marriage can be initiated by either party, but family members cannot directly cancel a marriage on behalf of someone else. The process typically requires the individual seeking annulment to file a petition in court. If the annulment is based on specific grounds, such as lack of consent or fraud, it must be filed within a stipulated time frame, usually one year from the date of marriage. While some believe that families can influence this process within three months, legal proceedings must be followed for a marriage to be annulled officially.
