1) file detailed reply that marriage was not solemnized

2) no question of giving any maintenance , divorce

3) your wife would have to prove that marriage was solemnised .

4) produce wedding photographs , wedding invitation card , evidence of witnesses who attended marriage

1. The lady seems to be an extortionist,

2. Contest the case fittingly and deny having married her. Take the defence that the onus is on her to prove that she married you.

3. If she brings any forged marriage registration certificate or any other photograph then deny it and seek FSL examination of it.

She has to prove that she married you with valid proof of the marriage.

You can reject her claim if the proofs produced by her are false and fabricated.

You have to work out the strategy to defend your interest

You may discuss with your advocate on the possibilities and to refute her charges.

The previous compromise settlement may be of some use to you.
