Legal Advice

Want to terminate marriage and marry girlfriend. I got married on March 2023. But I still love my girlfriend and more connected with her. I just acting as couple with my wife. I am in anxiety all the time. I want to marry my girlfriend. But second marriage is prohibited. And I know I can’t live without my girlfriend. Performing marriage was my biggest mistake as now I realise. I want to marry my girlfriend and want to terminate my marriage. I talked with my wife. She agreed. My question is how should I proceed? So that I can terminate my marriage and marry my girlfriend. What can be the legal consequences?

Your marriage cannot be dissolved within two months from marriage. If your wife is agreed, then you should prefer to dissolve your marriage by mutual consent. Under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, there is some precondition for getting divorce by mutual consent.

The spouses must live apart for more than one year. There is no chance to survive their marriage and they have agreed to dissolve their marriage. So, you should make arrangements for getting divorce by mutual consent.

It is important to consider your wife’s feelings and be loyal to her. It would not be fair to ruin the life of an innocent woman simply because you could not live without your girlfriend. You should have thought about this before getting married. If you have decided to get married, you should stick to your decision and try to lead a happy life with your wife.
