I got married to my boyfriend, 4yrs back, in Arya samaj mandir MUMBAI, and now I want to leave him. We never stayed together at one place. He used to visit me once in a while and We had physical relationship. And I don't have any documents or photos or proof of marriage with me but he had those documents. And he is not ready to give to me to file divorce. Marriage is not registered at court. 1) Is it legally considered as marriage? 2) if it is considered as marriage, how can I file divorce without these documents? 3) if I should get documents to file divorce, how to get them, he is not giving? 4) if I put divorce, how much time it will take, because he is not accepting?

1) Is it legally considered as marriage?
if you have taken saptpadi or seven step before the holy fire then marriage shall be treated as solemnized u/s 5 of hindu marriage act. if only formality was performed then this marrage is invalid and no need to get divorce.
I'm in love with some other guy, 1) is there any legal threat if I engage in physical relation with him? 2) if yes, what problem can happen to him and me? 3) if I apply for divorce and then indulge in physical relation, then can I avoid those problems? 4) I just don't want this friend to have trouble because of me, how can I make sure that he won't have any legal trouble in spite of having physical relationship?

2. If your husband collects evidence and lodges complaint with the police, your paramour may be remanded and punished if proved guilty.
3. Divorce case is not a shield to protect you from legal onslaughts
4. Erase or destroy the evidences of your physical relationship and be careful in future too about this to not to leave any evidence until you are legally divorced from your husband.
