It means your marriage has been annuuled. The judge has held that it was void ab initio ie not a lawful marriage from the start. 

Now your lawful status is of a single unmarried person

Dear Madam,

Nothing to worry, Mental illness is not ground for divorce.  They have to prove that you are mentally restarted and burden lies on them. In the meanwhile you file a domestic violence case against your husband and in laws in family court. The proforma prayer of domestic violence case is as follows:

PRAYER

                HENCE THE APPLICANT HUMBLY PRAYS

  4. Pass orders u/s 20(i) granting Rs.25,000/- per month as maintenance for applicant and maintenance at the rate of Rs. 5,000/- each per month to her three children.
  5. Pass orders granting Rs. 5,00,000/- for setting up house hold requirements, in granted residence, to make it livable, as the applicant cannot return to the house of Respondent1 as he is residing in the house of respondent No. 3, which is legally prohibited,
  6. Pass orders granting litigation expenses of Rs.1,00,000/- as the applicant made to wander from pillar to post for getting legal aid to attend the Hon’ble Court, whereas, the Respondent1 falsely filed Divorce Petition.

The meaning of legal term you want to know about is that your divorce has been allowed in favor of your husband. 

And contested allowed means that you have contested your case through your counsel.

The legal aid did not support your cause is a bygone matter, now you have to think about what is to be done on this, hence you may follow the suggestions received or consult another advocate in the local and proceed as per the advice given or you may insist on preferring an appeal against the judgment given by the trial court.

This is a matter to have been discussed during the trial proceedings where you have failed to put everything before trial court.

You may consult a local advocate and prefer an appeal against the judgment.

  1. It is very unfortunate that just relying upon a report made by the doctor of the opposite party, judgment has been passed.
  2. You should contest it before the appellate court (hope there you can find some good label lawyer of legal aid).
  3. Apply for the certified copy of the order of not having right now, but even if have a simple copy from website then also can challenge it, but do it as soon as possible as here has been a period of 90 days to file an appeal.
