Legal Question in Family Law in India

no rules for non-consumated marriage?

H and W lived together one month after marriage(Hindu). Then W went to her home and send a divorce notice asking for non-consumated divorce. H & W had NO SEX when they lived together, due to some quarrels, or in past. But H & W are medically fit for sex. Now, H don't want to give W non-consumated divorce at any cost. In court H, who is also potent, says he had sex with W. But W denies it and ready for any medical test (She knows her Hymen is not broken by anymeans). So, Can W get non-consumated divorce? Will court take into account any medical test result to declare W is virgin? I've heard that there is no medical test to certify girls virginity even if her hymen is intact. Will court just deny non-consumated divorce without considering anything else if H is potent?

You have a good case. You need to pursue for declaration of your marriage as void.

If the husband is found guilty of making false statement in the court, he may suffer criminal prosecution and possibly a jail term.

Even a potent person may be impotent in a particular situation or qua a particular person. He may even father children and still remain impotent qua his wife.

Advice : do not oppose divorce; amend your written statement; apologize for your false statement and try to bring an end to the entire episode gracefully.
