4) The legislation in its wisdom did not include the vitiligo to be one of the diseases, on the basis of which divorce could be granted. The diseases on which the party is entitled to divorce, are given in Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, which does not include this disease to be one of the diseases, even though incurable in nature.

 Vitiligo is not a valid ground for annulment or divorce.

You would need to file for divorce on other grounds as mentioned under Section 13 of Hindu Marriage Act.

3. It's important evidence. 

4. Citation varies with every case. 

Dear Client,

On the basis of the above disease, you can not seek divorce as its not a contagious disease. 

It may not be good ground for divorce but not applicable to annulment. 

No chance for divorce on the ground of VITILIGO under section 13 of Hindu Marriage Act 1955.

Dear sir,

Vitiligo is not a ground for divorce. In order to succeed, the only plea available to you is of fraud and mis- representation.

Proof is such cases can be through oral evidences of parties, recordings, conversations, confessions, medical evidence etc.  

The court can also look into surrounding circumstances relating to consummation of marriage. For eg. If the patch is noticeable, the fact that you stopped your sexual relationship only a month back can go against you.

You'll need to discuss all the details in order to plan your next move. The information provided here is not sufficient to give the exact answer. It is advisable that you get in touch with any advocate over a telephonic conversation and obtain a legal opinion after providing all the details. 

Vitiligo is a condition in which the skin loses its pigment cells (melanocytes). This can result in discolored patches in different areas of the body, including the skin, hair and mucous membranes. Vitiligo (vit-ih-LIE-go) is a disease that causes loss of skin color in patches

There is no "cure" for vitiligo. Sometimes patches go away on their own. But when that doesn't happen, doctors can prescribe treatments that might help even out skin tone.

f a person has vitiligo, the risk that a first-degree family member (parent, child, or sibling) is 5%, or 5 times higher than the general population

The suppression of this fact which is material to marriage may be a ground for seeking annulment of marriage.

Sine it is ls than one year from marriage, you better collect the evidences for establishing the facts and file an annulment petition seeking to annul the marriage.

You have to prove material suppression of facts by your wife 

2) if you are able to prove she has suppressed facts about her skin disease at time of marriage court can pass orders fir anullment of marriage 

3) if you are unable to prove petition would be dismissed 

1. Go for annulment. 

2. Ground is that she suppressed a fact, not that it can be tattooed or not.

3. Case is different for everyone 

1. It depends on how strongly you present your argument to convince court with the facts of the case as well as nature of this disease. 

This is an incurable and infectious disease,  hence the fact which is material for marriage has been suppressed,  therefore annulment case can be filed. 

2. All these cannot deny the affliction of the disease. 

3. You don't stretch your imagination and get into a negative approach even before initiating any legal step.

Your annulment can only succeed if the said disease sexually transmitted diseas and you were kept ignorant about it by them

A facial disfigurement in the form of a white patch vitiligo which was hidden from you can be a ground of divorce as they didn't tell you about it or your decision must have been changed. Divorce  on grounds of Material facts relating to the wife were hidden.

The question is not whether children will get it or not. The question is whether you had married her if they told this before marriage.

If the answer is no then you have a case.

You have asked question whether VITILIGO is a ground for divorce or annulment?

I have answered NO.

You have cited case reference,

Please discuss entire case ,facts and ground and compare your question. You would get definite answer.

1. Yes. It can be considered as a considerable and materialistic fact. But you'll have to prove that it was concealed at the time of marriage.  The reason why use "can" is because these are debatable issues and a lot depends on evidences and arguments in the court. 

2. This defence can be used by her but you can counter it by stating that there is a possibility of children getting it. 

3. The plea for annulment was rejected in Rajinder Kalsi's case because the husband failed to prove that his consent at the time of marriage was obtained by concealing true facts.

- The Supreme Court has already declared that the Leprosy type of decease is not a ground for divorce. 

- Hence , once cannot get divorce on this ground , and also as this visible then concealment of facts also not accepted . 

Vitiligo is easily visible and neither it is contagious. How can you claim, she conceal it ?

This cannot be material ground to file divorce.

1. Vitiligo is not a ground recognized under H.M.A for divorce.

2. Proof will not matter because it is not a ground for divorce or annulment.

3. It can be treated if it is not spreading i personally known some people who are cured.

4. Your petition for divorce or annulment will be dismissed if you take vitiligo as ground.

Vitiligo is not a ground recognized under H.M.A for divorce. 

There could be a little chance if you go for the annulment u/s 12 (1) 

Dear querist, 

Yes, it can be a valid ground of divorce as it is a concealment of the disease which is incurable and can be considered by the court as the ground of fraud and divorce can be granted on this sole ground. The judgment your referred in your query runs on the single issue which is framed by the court as whether the consent as to the disease was given by the petitioner before the marriage or not. Therefore, that's the difference case altogether and the facts and circumstances along with the proving the 'consent' will be different in your case. 

The issue that is to be framed in the court is, not whether vitiligo is a incurable and veneral disease and is communicable or not, but whether the petitioner was cognizant of the fact as to the disease before the marriage or not? whether the consent was given or not? whether it will amount to concealment and fraud or not? 

Prima faciely, divorce can be granted on these grounds as you are taking your case to a different tangent.
