Dear Client,

Panchayat faisla has not value. And her 2nd marriage while subsistence of previous marriage is void and so the marriage certificate.

Marriage certificate must be cancelled by court, So get marry again and registered it or act of marriage.

Divorce decree has to be passed by court

2) panchayat divorce is not valid

2) since second marriage was performed on basis of panchayat divorce it would not be valid

4) after obtaining divorce decree from court girl should remarry Y and then apply for visa

Yes this is right to get your marriage legal as before divorce any marriage is invalid. She has to get the marriage nullified on the basis of divorce and reapply for new marriage certificate.

1. Panchayat has no competence to pronounce divorce. This practice of panchayati divorce that is still continuing in some parts of country is contrary to law. The girl continued to remain married to her first husband as divorce can be granted by only the competent court.

2. The immigration is right in refusing to recognize the marriage to Y as it was done during the subsistence of girl's marriage to X.

3. The only remedy for the girl now is to get the marriage annulled from the court and theN marry Y.

She should apply for a fresh certificate of marriage. There's an option of getting the marriage certificate amended.

I will advise this girl to re-approach the Marriage Registrar and get her date of marriage with Y re-changed to a later date.

hello

the girl was married to X but she didn't divorce him. the registration prior to the divorce cannot hold and is not valid. therefore again register a marriage and then it would be legal.

Since her subsequent marriage without proper divorce of subsisting marriage is null and void, she may have to solemnise and register the marriage afresh to live a legally valid married life.
