My husband left me within 10 days of our marriage (a secret temple marriage for love). My father gifted him a wedding ring and some cash. After that, he asked for a formal marriage, but we couldn’t afford it. Then, after learning about my past relationship before marriage, he told me that the marriage was invalid. He said if I wanted to stay with him, I would have to convince my father for a formal marriage and my father would have to bear all the expenses. After we refused, he left me for 2 months, not providing anything, and has cut all contact. What should I do?
Sir, in India, a marriage conducted in a temple can be valid if it is performed as per the customs and traditions of the community. If your husband is claiming that the marriage is invalid and has left you without providing support or communicating, it may be considered desertion under the Hindu Marriage Act. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you in filing a petition for maintenance. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
