Query on conversion of restitution of conjugal rights petition in to Mutual Consent divorce petition...



Q 1.My friend want to marry his cousin under Hindu marriage act. But both are cousins. Is their any way to get married under Hindu marriage or special Act ? Is there any way to cover marriage in Legal Way?

Ans. To clarify your query:
In some communities, sister's son and brother's daughter though cousins can marry as the gotra, is different. Cousins with same gotra cannot marry. Any such marriage under the Hindu law and religion is void and cannot be registered under the Hindu Marriage Act or the Special Marriage Act..
There is a scientific reason for this. Progeny of very close relation like cousins from aunts or uncles (maternal as well as paternal) cannot be healthy; they can be born with congenital defects, which can bring life long sorrow.
Hence marriage between sapindas is void marriage and there is no legal way to marry.

Q 2. I got married in Davangere, 3 years ago to a leading doctor with disability. After suffering abuse, verbal, physical and s*xual, i returned to my parents within 4 months of marriage.  Filed for Maintenance, and received 10 thousand as compensation.  Meanwhile he filed for RCR and another case in the in the high court saying that he earns only 15 thousand per month. He produces CA certificate stating he is earning 15 thousand. The high court ordered him to pay me 7 thousand every month to me. He did not persue the RCR case. I filed a DV in the Davangere Court.  After 3 years of marriage, I want a divorce. I am fed up of marriage and want to lead a single life. How can I get a onetime settlement? How can I prove that he is earning at least 1 lakhs a month. I know a lot of what he earns is in black money or in cash because I have seen bundles of notes in his house. Though he owns property he lives in a rented house. Should I file the case in where his residence is? so that I will get an early divorce.

Ans. You have not mentioned about your qualification or if you are doing a job. To get the amount you are looking forward will depend on this background. Secondly, if you are able to produce his income certificate or the proof that he owns the house, then you have bright chances to get a handsome compensation. You can ask your lawyer to speak with opposite side lawyer to work on the compensation and divorce. If not you can go ahead and file a single petition putting all the allegations and then negotiate and compromise for some amount and settle the matter. 

Q 3. Wife has filed petition for RCR. Now wants compromise.  Can RCR petition be converted to mutual consent divorce (MCD).  Please advice . Is there any problem in doing so –UN

Ans. RCR cannot be converted into mcd petition because both are for different purposes , one for restitution of conjugal rights means wants to take back his or her deserted spouse, on the other hand mcd is a procedure to take divorce by filing divorce petition jointly by means of their terms and condition (MOU) . So now you can arrive at the agreement through MOU, withdraw the RCR case and file a  MCD .
