Case Law Details
Ashish Morya Vs Anamika Dhiman (Allahabad High Court)
Allahabad High Court held that in absence of a valid marriage, marriage certificate of Arya Samaj is not proof of a valid marriage. Accordingly, mere getting a marriage certificate from Arya Samaj is not proof of a valid marriage.
Facts-
In the present case are that the plaintiff-appellant had earlier filed Case No.1028 of 2021, (Ashish Maurya versus Smt. Anamika Dhiman), u/s. 9 of the Act, 1955 which was subsequently withdrawn by him stating that he does not want to press the case for the reason that a compromise has been entered and satpadi ceremony was not performed for marriage. Again he filed Case No.269 of 2022, (Ashish Maurya versus Smt. Anamika Dhiman), u/s. 9 of the Act, 1955 which has been dismissed by the impugned judgment dated 09.09.2022. Aggrieved with this judgement, the plaintiff-appellant filed the present appeal.
