If the husband and wife are of different religion, then this means that the marriage has been registered under Special Marriage Act. As such they would be governed by the Indian Divorce Act. Section 19 of the Act provides for the grounds on which a decree for nullity of marriage maybe granted.

They are:

(i) impotency at the time of marriage and at the time of the institution of the suit;

(ii) prohibited degree of relationship

(iii) either party was a lunatic or idiot at the time of marriage.

(iv) either one of them had a former spouses living at the time of marriage

(v) the consent to the marriage was obtained by fraud or force. On what grounds do you seek nullity of marriage? Get an expert to help you with the case.
