STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION
The appellant in civil miscellaneous appeal no. _______ most humbly submits
that the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi has the appropriate jurisdiction under
Section 28 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 read with Sec. 19 of the Family
courts Act, 1984 to hear the matter and adjudicate accordingly.
2 The marriage was solemnized on the 12th of December, 2007 as per Hindu religion and the
Brahmin community traditions. It was also registered in the sub-registrar’s office in New
Delhi.
3 On the 1st January, 2008, the couple left for the United States of America and stayed there
for
approximately a year. Meanwhile, the appellant applied for permanent residence. Also, she
discovered that the respondent had already married a Ms.Stella in 2006 in the United States
of
America and had completed the marriage with her while divorce proceedings were still
pending

confinement.
She escaped to India with the help of her neighbors and in March, 2009 approached the
District
Court for a decree of divorce which was rejected on grounds of want of jurisdiction.
