Hello,

1)Marriage is valid if it had been performed according to your religious rites or registered before a registrar of marriage.if Non-Consummation of Marriage is on account of Natural Causes - impotency- marriage is treated as void under and 'Decree of Nullity' is prescribed. However, if 'Non- Consummation' of Marriage is for Non-Natural Causes - willful refusal to consummate marriage, marriage is treated as voidable marriage and Divorce is prescribed.

2) The fact that she is admitting non consummation of marriage herself will help in your divorce petition if you seek divorce on grounds on non consummation.

3) If the marriage is declared null by the court you will not be liable to pay any maintenance.

4)You can contest her maintenance claims. If the wife is employed she is not entitled to seek maintenance. If she had been previously employed and is qualified to get employment(if presently unemployed) you can cite these.

5) Your monthly income is the basis of fixing the interim maintenance. It would be around 1/3 of your income.

6) Contest the DV case she has filed on merits and proceed with a petition to get the marriage nullified.Engage a local lawyer to help you with the court proceedings.

Hi

it is unfortunate that you have such an experience an arranged marriage.You have legal option as follows:

1. The domestic violence petition if filed along with an interim maintenance application usually ordered if the opposite party does not defend it properly.

2. The maintenance is calculated on the basis of your salary , 1/3 of the salary or your income is ordered as maintenance, and interim maintenance is ordered lesser than the 1/3 of salary as it is ordered as a temporary relief.

3. You should start proceedings for nullity of marriage for non consummation ground within one year of marriage. This is because she refused to have physical relationship is a category of voidable marriage due to her refusal to consummate the marriage.

4. You can also ask for a settlement during the domestic violence petition pending and end the marriage on mutual consent.

5. Hope in your reply you have taken a defense that she has not allowed you any physical relationship and she cannot claim any relation on basis of her own wrong doings. Her own failure to maintain marital relationship from the beginning of it is a serious matter and a ground for divorce under sec.12
