Re: cheating case

If you were so concerned about qualifications of your wife, you should have checked her certificates before marriage.

Re: cheating case

There is no fraud or cheating involved. If you were that serious about the degree, you could very well verify her qualification before marriage. You could not only insist upon perusal of her certificates but could also verify the correctness of these documents with the concerned authorities.

After marriage, talking of her academic qualifications, may amounts to "cruelty" and "domestic violence" and you may suffer criminal prosecution which may also possibly visit you with a jail term.

You are advised not to rake up this issue at this stage and instead give your wife due respect to avoid any unavoidable complications/litigation.

Re: cheating case

You cannot file a case of cheating but on the ground of cheating you may get divorce. But i will not advice for that also. It is your start of life. plz talk to your wife and if she is graduate and can get masters degree then give her some time. Moreover, Master degree is immeterial but first see her baehaviour. If you love her alot then she will definatly get the degree and go with you in your every step and strugle of life.

Cheer up man you got so much intellegent girl.

Good luck.
