Also as per Hindu Marriage act 1955 below are the reasons for which a marriage can be declared as void:
Void marriages
A marriage may be declared void if it contravenes any of the following:
- Either party is under age.The bridegroom should be of 21 years of age and the bride of 18 years.
- Either party is not of a Hindu religion.Both the bridegroom and the bride should be of the Hindu religion at the time of marriage.
- Either party is already married. The Act expressively prohibits polygamy. A marriage can only be solemnized if neither party has a living spouse at the time of marriage.
- The parties are sapindas or within the degree of prohibited relationship.
Voidable marriages
A marriage may later be voidable (annulled) if it contravenes any of the following:
- Either party is impotent, unable to consummate the marriage, or otherwise unfit for the procreation of children.
- One party did not willingly consent. In order to consent, both parties must be sound of mind and capable of understanding the implications of marriage. If either party suffers from a mental disorder or recurrent attacks of insanity or epilepsy, then that may indicate that consent was not (or could not be) given. Likewise, if consent was forced or obtained fraudulently, then the marriage may be voidable.
- The bride was pregnant by another man other then the bridegroom at the time of the marriage.
And there isn't any clause like she has to inform the other party about pregnancy and the Marriage can be declared as valid...I read the complete PDF kahin nhi hai
