Though they were keen to get married, they were apprehensive that their family members might not accept the match.<\/p>\n<p>They hatched a plan to convince their family members. They obtained a marriage registration certificate from a local Mandal and had planned to reveal to their family members about tying the nuptial knot.<\/p>\n<p>But the woman\u2019s parents were annoyed when she disclosed the plan. They compelled her to lodge a police complaint at Rajaram police station in Ratnagiri district, alleging that she was abducted and her signatures were forcibly obtained to get hold of the forged marriage registration certificate. A case was registered against the man and some other persons.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the dispute was settled amicably.<\/p>\n<p>The HC held that the family court was not justified in rejecting the appellant\u2019s plea.<\/p>\n<p>It said under section 7(1) of the Family Court\u2019s Act a suit or proceeding for a declaration as to the validity of a marriage or as to the matrimonial status of any person is within the exclusive jurisdiction of the court and that the Thane resident\u2019s plea fell in that category.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe respondent woman (his purported wife) has not disputed these facts,\u201d said the HC bench. \u201cShe is not opposing the prayers made before the Family Court at all.
