SUIT FOR JACTITATION OF MARRIAGE

Respectfully Sheweth:-

That plaintiff No. 2 is minor and is filing the instant suit through her real father i.e defendant No.1 who has no adverse interest against her. (Copies of birth certificate & Form-B are attached herewith).

On 21.01.2017, defendant No. 1 along with his brother and sisters kidnapped plaintiff No. 2 while plaintiff No. 2 was going to the house of her friend. The matter was reported to the local police by plaintiff No. 1 and an FIR No. 413, dated 22.01.2017, U/S 365-B, 363, 376 PPC, was lodged against defendant No. 1 and his other family members (copy of FIR is attached herewith)

That the police recovered plaintiff No. 2 from the illegal confinement and custody of defendant No.1 and other co-accused and brought her before the court of learned Area Magistrate, who handed over the custody of plaintiff No. 2 to plaintiff No. 1. 

That during the period of abduction, defendant No.1 forcibly, illegally, and unlawfully got a thumb impression and signature of plaintiff No.1 on different documents as well as a marriage contract under the pressure of gunpoint and threats of death. Later on, defendant No.1 claimed himself as the husband of the plaintiff. Copies of the same is attached herewith for kind perusal of this Hon’ble Court. It is pertinent to mention here that defendant No. 1 is also trying to get a certified marriage certificate from the office of defendant No. 2 illegally and unlawfully.

That plaintiff No. 2 never contracted marriage with defendant No. 1 and is not legally wedded wife of defendant No.1 and the defendant has no right to claim himself as the husband of plaintiff No. 2 on the basis of above said forged, fabricated, and false marriage contract, hence the marriage contract has no legal value in the eyes of law which is liable to be null and void.   

That the cause of action accrued to plaintiff No. 2 firstly when she was abducted by defendant No.1 and lastly when defendant No.1 started claiming himself as the husband of plaintiff No. 2 and the same is continuing day by day.

That the cause of action firstly accrued in within the jurisdiction of this Hon’ble court, the parties used to live in here, hence this Hon'ble court has jurisdiction to try and adjudicate upon the matter.

That the prescribed court fee has been affixed on the plaint.

PRAYER:

In view of the above circumstances, it is, therefore, most respectfully prayed that a decree for jactitation of the marriage of the plaintiff may kindly be passed in favor of plaintiff against the defendant No.1 with cost.

It is further prayed that the defendants may kindly be directed to get cancel the marriage registration certificate if any, which is prepared on the basis of false, forged, bogus and fabricated documents and the documents which showing plaintiff No. 2 as the wife of defendant No. 1 may be declared as null and void and in this regard, a clear order/decree of the court is required to be passed in the extreme interest of the plaintiff No.2’s future which is in the interest of justice.

Any other relief, which this Hon’ble Court if fit and proper may also be granted to the plaintiffs.
