January 21, 2025 at 2:32 pmMy dumb friend had an obsessesive ex while we were in college who kind of emotionally blackmailed him into marrying her. I tried to put some sense into him but he did not listen to me and they got married secretly as their parents were against their relationship.After some years, the girl proved to be a coward and backed out and told my friend that they can just breakup and no need to get a divorce because their marriage was not registered in court. I tried talking to her that divorce is still mandatory but she was an equal dumbo.
Fast forward to present, he got to know that she is married to a rich guy but he can’t take any action against her as his family will k!ll him if they found out. His parents are forcing him to get married but he thinks that he will be caught somehow. Even I don’t understand how can I help him. I am quite sure that if he gets married, his ex won’t create a problem as she is married and she is also a coward. But still, I am not sure if he will be 100% safe.
I just know that it’s 5+ years since their breakup. -

January 21, 2025 at 2:38 pmI would suggest you sit with popcorn and let it unfold.What are you ( the smart person ) doing with these two a bit less smart people? Like I believe you should enjoy your own life mate.
They made their own choices, let them live with their consequences 🙂

January 21, 2025 at 2:45 pmI tried to leave him many times, but he is my oldest friend and more like a brother to me. He even borrowed 30k from me some years ago and returned in 15 months (2k per month). I knew I was in loss but I still did it. I never helped him financially after that but I just feel pity for him sometimes.-

OP
January 21, 2025 at 3:01 pmYes, I also think so, but what about records? As far as I know, even if the marriage is not registered in courts, their records must be present in Arya Samaj. Also, there must be 1-2 witnesses. He asked me to be his witness proof but i didn’t go or else his parents would have beaten me also.-

January 21, 2025 at 3:14 pmWell you can always claim it was for YouTube prank and not real. Instagram reel would be next best thing but back then Instagram was not there I think.
Also just for fun, have him marry 2-3 other girls in actual fake marriages and make some reels or YT videos out of it. Might go viral.

January 22, 2025 at 2:49 pmOur Arya Samaj marriage was registered in a register literally. It has been 5+ years for your friend. Do you think Arya Samaj will bother to save a 5year old record? lol-

January 23, 2025 at 4:35 amif the girl has destroyed the record and photos, then there’s nothing to worry about. And god forbid, if she brings it forward some day, say the pics are AI generated and Arya Samaj certificate generated from Canva. The onus is completely on the girl to prove she is not lying. It will be a big uphill battle for her to prove anything.So I would say to relax and keep complete distance. Tell your friend to block his ex from all social media, hibernate his LinkedIn, and not release any personal information. Basically, the ex shouldn’t be receiving any updates on his new life. Don’t leave any scope for jealousy/ unresolved feelings/ friendship. Block her out completely and tell him to change his number.

January 21, 2025 at 2:57 pmNormally in your friend’s case, his ex would move on with her life and your friend would move on with his. And no one would speak a word about their unregistered secret marriage.Is there any proof such a marriage happened though?
But the problem is, some people decide to create a problem later and then his ex might be back saying the new marriage is illegal, bigamy etc. And then he will be in trouble. The only surefire way is a divorce, but the ex wont be open to it at all as she is marrried.

January 21, 2025 at 3:05 pmIf it’s not registered and they married in secret like no wedding invitation, no video proof, no hindu rituals, no eye witnesses that will testify in court, etc then at best it’s not a marriage but a relationship (live in if they were living in the same house). Not a marriage.Your friend has no problems getting married to some other girl.
If some rituals took place and there is video proof and eye witnesses and the girl decided to complaint against the guy, she can but the chances are slim now that she’s married to a rich guy.

OP
January 21, 2025 at 3:07 pmYeah, i am thinking the same. He told me that she brought her friends as witnesses. But then, she is also married now. So, I think he is safe.
But what would happen when he goes to register in court? Any background checks?-
UUser_41993add
PARTICIPANT
January 21, 2025 at 3:19 pmIf it is not registered and no cases are filed, the courts have no way of finding about this marriage.Where they got married though? In some temples, the temple board themselves offer marriage services. They get ID proofs from both the groom and bride, perform all rituals and give a acknowledgement receipt from the Temple with which the registration can be made. Have they given any ID proofs during their marriage?
But I believe that even if they have given IDs, chances of the temple board maintaining them after marriage is slim. So I believe it’s still not an issue.

January 21, 2025 at 3:29 pmYeah, he did give them his identity. The girl did too. But it was 14-15 years ago. And they broke up some 10 years ago. I am just thinking that if his ex got married with ease, why can’t he!

January 22, 2025 at 11:27 amYeah he won’t right , but if this was a girl then u would have a lot of problem as she would be a bi*tch who first did degrading stuff and then wanna spoil another men’s life with his ding her past ? Yeah but as it’s a boy , he has no problem as there is no proof , he can cheat on his future girl after such involvement right ? And later when she will take divorce then u same guys will screen on how women’s are issue on taking divorces and how now he would have to pay alimony for the divorce ? That girl was a shame to women whome he married but no other women deserves to be played like that after marriage , he better come out clean or marry someone who is also having some broken past , don’t know why that girl managed to marry again but most probably she hasn’t informed him about then and hiding it which is also too bad for her husband , ur friend should come out clean and marry someone who can accept him with such past , this way no another innocent is been harmed in this crap and also ur friend life will be more safe going ahead-

I agree that’s how society view this but I’m not taking this crap. I’m all for gender equality.
I was just stating the legalities and solutions for the issue and not discussing the moral part here.

OP
January 21, 2025 at 3:10 pmDon’t know man! He thinks his records could come up at the time of registration but then he also tells he did not get his marriage registered, so I asked him how the records would come up then and he is just scared that what if!
I knew this day would come because his ex was seriously crazy and not at all in her right mind. God knows what he saw in her.

January 21, 2025 at 11:21 pm> I am quite sure that if he gets married, his ex won’t create a problem as she is marriedLegally she can’t because marrying 2nd time without a divorce is a criminal offence and she will be in trouble. It is unlikely that this will be a big issue because someone(your dumb friend) needs to file a complaint to initiate criminal action.

January 22, 2025 at 3:21 pmIf the marriage wasnt registered or documented in any manner – they can treat it as a live in & break up. If not a divorce would be best to ensure they dont have legal issues in future.
