I want to file for annulment I want to file for annulment

1 year ago

Hello sir, I have been married for 8 years. But I have been staying away from my husband for my studies. We have now been living together for 1 year. He is frequently sick and has health problems. I found out that he is sickle cell carrier. Doesn’t have disease but has genes for that. Sickle cell is genetic, incurable and passes on to next generation. I don’t want that gene to go down in my family. If I had known about the fact of this sickle cell carrier I would have never consented for the marriage in the first place. Am I eligible to annulment.

A.Hello Sir,
Yes you are eligible to annulment under Section 13 The Hindu Marriage Act which tells about the grounds for the divorce. As you get to know about the diseases after you started living with your husband.
