• Mutual divorce conditions

Hi , 
I got married on 18 march 2013. We have 4 years older boy child.my wife had affair in her office with manager due to which we took mutual divorce on jan 2018.After 1 year we again did remarriage for the sake of child future,with the condition she will leave that job where earlier she was involved in affair .But few days later she started meeting her manager again and asking to do job in same offfice when i disagreed with it she left home took kid with her and now its been almost 9 months.She is ready to give divorce but asking me write down that i will never file case for child custody.
So below is my concern please guide me on this.
1. Remarriage happened in normal temple not arya samaj and also did not take 7 pheras we both are hindu is marriage valid although we were having relatives from her side and my side. Is this valid for marriage ? 
2. If it is valid marriage if i am ready to accept her condition that i will file child custody case in future irrespective of any circumstances , still in any situation can i file custody case in future by putting valid reasons.
3. If child stays with her, child later can ask for my property ?
If i would put condition in mutual divorce that i disown him from property or what preventive measure i can take not to give property to my child however in future if i want i will give with my will but want to restrict them on this legally.
4. I am suspect she has done registered marriage with her manager so how can i get there marriage registration proof so that i can charge manager for polygamy nd also my wife .her manager is already married.

Circle of holy fire and enchanting of mantras are essentials for valid marriage, mere sharing garland and filling vermilion between parting of heads dose not complete marriage.

No divorce decree required, you can directly apply for child custody. Hope you have strong proof of her continuous adultery.

Mutual settlement dose not cease custody rights, can apply any time.

You can disown/disinherit child be public notice and ouster of inheritance through testamentary disposition (WILL).

But till attained majority, child is entitle to maintenance. Use local source and check at local municipal office or court marriage office.

1. Once  the marriage has been solemnised in the presence of witnesses, it is legally valid.

2. The child custody case can be filed at a later stage also because the one what you give in writing now cannot be legally enforceable even if she is trying to defend the case in her favor.

3. Neither your child nor anyone can claim any share in your property as a right at least not during your lifetime.

4. Your suspicions cannot become law, hence you may through your own sources, find out that if the same is true and then collect evidence for that to initiate legal action for the offences of bigamy against them.

1. In Hindus marriage without saptapadhi is no marriage. However, if you have been projecting yourself as married in the society after the said ceremony then it will not be possible for you to prove that saptapadhi had not taken place.

2. Your child is your Class 1 heir, hence after your lifetime he will succeed to your properties if you do not alienate or bequeath them during your lifetime, but during your lifetime he has no share in your properties.

3. Section 497 of IPC which criminalised the act of adultery and made the paramour of a married woman liable to punishment, has been struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Hence, no case is made out against her paramour. The maximum

1. As per Section 7 of the Hindu Marriage Act, A Hindu marriage may be solemnized in accordance with the customary rites and ceremonies of either party thereto.

- Where such rites and ceremonies include the saptpadi ,i.e. the taking of seven steps by the bridegroom and the bride jointly before the sacred fire, the marriage becomes complete and binding when the seventh step is taken.

Hence, in the absence of 7 pheras , your remarriage was not solemnized according to customary rites and ceremonies , so,your said marriage was not a valid marriage. 

2. A written undertaking can be challenged in future ,specially not getting the said custody from the Court. 

3. As per law, no child or wife can claim any share in your ancestral or self acquired property during your life time 

4. If she get registered marriage from the office of the marriage Registrar , then you can get the same from there, otherwise you cannot.

- Further if you get the proof of their marriage , then you can file a case under the Polygamy Act.
