Cheating in Marriage -- Is there any Canadian family law to screw him?

[iugeorge]

An Indian born Canadian citizen bachelor man (37 years) got married (arranged by parents / civil marriage happened in the church in India) to Indian national spinster girl (33 years) last month and lived only for 15 days in India with her and left to Canada giving a false hope that he will go and do the proceeding to take her to Canada. Now he is telling her that he don't like her and not interested on her. He didn't even indicated a single time that he was not interested in the marriage before or after the marriage. He said several times that when asked that he liked the bride so much. now after he went to Canada he is telling a different story that he don't like the girl. What kind of action can we take upon him. Is there any Canadian family law to screw him up to realise that he made a mistake of doing so? I am desperately need an answer for this. Kindly help

I wish to inform you that the girl can report the matter to law enforcement agencies under Section 128 of Immigration and Refugee Protection Act for immigration fraud. Further a complaint can be made under 498A of IPC against boy and his family for dowry demand. A court permission regarding extradition can be sought from court. A girl can also take divorce and demand spousal support and alimony.

Canadian society is far different than India where marriages can be prearranged and the parties just live with their family's decision. Love is the basis for marriage, not family's wishes, but the parties. Canadian law allows one to dissolve a marriage that is not working for them, so he can apply for divorce or annulment in Canada and obtain it easily. Forcing someone to marry is not part of Western culture

Feeling family pressure he probably went forward with a marriage that was not of his choice nor liking. It probably aids him to apply for annulment in fact, if he claims duress (family pressure) to go into a marriage he did not want.

Now that he is back in Canada, away from the family in India, he is probably speaking the truth. Besides, who would want to be married to someone that does not want them?

Thank you AFF... will advice the brides family to do so. @ friend in court.... even though the marriage is arranged. Both the bride and the bridegroom were in touch over telecon almost everyday for hours to know each other from February. the boy came to India couple of weeks before the marriage and was meeting the girl everyday in person. Even though it is arranged marriage.... both the families were giving more importance on thier son and daughter wishes respectively. And this whole process took almost 8 months to end in marriage.

Regardless of what third parties think about how stable and wonderful this arranged marriage is, the fact is that the groom is in Canada where no reason is required to dissolve a marriage other than "irreconcilable differences." If he does want to stay married to this woman, there is no law in Canada to force him to. AFF's adavice only applies in India, not under Canadian law. And only if he has broken some immigration law which your post does not indicatel.

There are many people from India and Pakistan living in Canada who wish to enforce their own social laws regarding marriages, especially 'arranged' marriages. The culture is entirely different. In some notorious, but unfortunatley, not infrequent cases, a bride or groom or both have been murdered for defying the family's choice of marriage partner for one of them. I The guilty parties paid the penalty under Canadian law.

There is no Canadian law to "screw" over someone who chooses not to stay married to another. Like it or not, that's the way it is.
