UGather as much evidence you can and go to the NCW. If that doesnāt work, then post all the evidence on social media.UOh shit no!! Donāt fill out temple forms and sign it, then your marriage will fall under the HMA, which is practically modern day slavery for men.
SMA requires giving a notice to the registrar and waiting for 30 days to finalise the marriage.
Avoid temples or any Hindu ceremonies at all costs.
UIt could backfire. I strongly suggest getting two independent lawyers for each of you, and also go for second opinions. The lawyer will tell you which documents have to be notarised and which ones require supporting documents to be legally binding. For example, the affidavit declaring income should go with bank and salary statements as disclosure etc.UThen the guy got lucky. Most women just stay in touch with their boyfriends or hookups just through chat and calls during the marriage phase. They carefully build and maintain a public persona from when the marriage discussions happen and till the wedding day. The only thing that PIs can reliably do is expose fake education and employment claims.UThere are some important things that canāt be discovered using PIs. What did the people you know find out using a PI?UThere will be no legal issues, just practical ones. PIs canāt find out much, no matter how great they are. The maximum they can do is verify education and employment details and addresses and family tree to a small extent. They can never find out details about her personal life or whatās going on in the minds of her and her parents.UItās complicated. Affidavits declaring income, education, gifts and marriage expenses will be held up in court if both sides are educated, or of similar socio economic backgrounds or had legal representation at the time of signing them. Otherwise, it can be ignored.Even prenups are worth it nowadays, even though they arenāt legally binding. There has been a trend of judges accepting prenups for couples who married under the special marriage act, as the SMA does not treat marriage as a religious sacrament. The āprenupsā are essentially a combination of MoUs and affidavits discussing various things that were signed with independent legal representation by both parties.
Judges often force couples to āsettleā, because the courts are clogged with a million pending civil disputes. The āsettlementā usually screws over men due to the biased nature of our laws. I know men who came out of ugly divorces with only tiny scratches, because they had good lawyers and cleverly designed business arrangements or trusts.
If youāre about to get married, then forget the lavish wedding, and spend a few lakhs on lawyers, and encourage the woman to do the same. I guarantee, that things would go relatively smoothly if you separate in the future.
UIf you had taken a video, then that man would be sitting in a police station right now with nothing but his underwear. Nevermind, at least now youāve learnt the importance of standing up for a fellow man.UContact a lawyer ASAP. Theyāll teach you how to tactfully collect evidence and build a solid case. Nobody should know that youāre contemplating a divorce until you actually file for it. Move in silence, because the system is built to exploit you and you can never be too careful.UIgnore her family. Contact a lawyer. Your life will only get more miserable if you donāt. I guarantee that. Itās better to lose an arm right now than to wait for the infection to spread to the whole body.
