Legal Question in Family Law in India

Where to Find Answers?

HAve had a bad experience within a marriage (8 months) to an Indian man. I applied for his paperwork for green card and such.

He is not around me anymore. Just recently I found out that he was engaged to a woman in my area well before the wedding last year. Also recently I found his picture on a web page that links him to other lies within his education. The whole thing appears to be lies. I want to investigate some of his dealings in his own country. I need help to know where to begin. I ahve his name and alien number but need some helpful links to people that can help. I was told he lived in Hyderabod, and too New Delhi, where he was born.

Please help, I am beside myself. I am thinking he may have a wife there as well. Thank You

If you want this investigation to be done in India, it can be done throug a lawyer - by appointing a private investigator. And you can collet all information and evidence and file appropriate case - including declaration of nullity of marriage, and you may also prosecute the concerned man under the criminal law.

This reply Assumes that the querist and her husband are hindus. Where was the marriage performed ( solemnized?) In India or US?. Was the Marriage registered? If the husband lives with another woman as his wife, it is necessary to investigate and have proof of such a illegal marriage ( polygamy) to file both criminal complaint for arrest of the husband and also to petition for divorce. Detective work can be undertaken in India with inputs such as Pasport copy/ number and various addresses of the husband and his relatives such as his parents etc.

The entire process can be completed in about 45 days time and thereafter legal action for arrest of husband/ divorce can be taken.

The man's details could be found provided you have certain basic details, such as, copy of his passport, photograph, residential or other address in India.

The investigation can be done by an attorney/advocate through a private detective.

Necessary legal action may be taken after ascertaining the details.

Yours is more of a social than a legal problem, and also it would be appropriate if you can give the details of your marriage, the customs adopted and since how many years you have been married and what is the exact relief you need. Inspite of lack of information, i can opine that during the subsistense of a valid legal marriage, if your husband is with an other woman, then you can make out good grounds for Decree of Divorce or for Nullification of your marriage as he had concealed material information.

Re: Where to Find Answers?

You are obsessing over a man that obviously is a man of low character.

Stop investigating him and start investigating what you must do to get him out of your life ASAP.

See a lawyer for divorce and annulment consultation; and investigate your liability, if any, re your husband's immigration application or status.

GOOD LUCK,
