Legal Question in Family Law in India

My so called husband married me though he didnt want to. on the second day of our marriage he told me that his life was devastated because he married me under his parents force. His mother is very greedy and married me to his son with the greed of getting expensive gifts from my parents. After a lot of effort I have been inable to arise any affection in him for me. When all his torture didnt make me leave his house, he called my parents and relatives and clearly told them to take me away as he was not attracted to me. His mother has also got the maximum possible from my parents so she also wants to divorce her son.

I want to know if I can get the marriage annuled instead of taking divorce as it will be helpful in finding a person for second marriage as for divorcee it is difficult to find good match. Please tell me how to go about it.

Thankyou in advance.

the marriage can be annulled on the ground of non consummation of marriage due to impotency of either parties or due to a major fraud played by either side. its better if you get the decree of divorce instead of annulment as it is very difficult to prove it. you can seek divorce by mutual consent and get rid of this stinking relationship and start afresh.

You may better consider filing a criminal complaint against them for dowry and cruelty under sections 406/498-A of IPC.
