Her first marriage was solemnised as per Christianity, and her first marriage was also dissolved by mutual consent and defacto Complainant filed petition under Section 10A of the Indian Divorce Act.

In this case, petitioner’s marriage to de facto complainant was the first marriage, but it was the second marriage for de facto complainant.

Defacto complainant has given complaint against the second husband (petitioner) and their family members in SC/ST act & 498A IPC.

The defacto complainant’s schedule caste status ended when she converted to Christianity, and she can no longer claim SC status.
