'A' remarries within five days of the passing of a decree of annulment of marriage under HM Act, 1955.…

Section 15 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 deals with remarriage after a decree of divorce, allowing it once no appeal lies, the time for appeal has expired or an appeal has been dismissed; it does not declare a premature remarriage void. A Hindu marriage is void only on the grounds in section 11 and voidable only on those in section 12, and in Lila Gupta v Laxmi Narain (1978) the Supreme Court held that a marriage contracted in breach of the former waiting period in section 15 was not void. A marriage five days after a decree of annulment is therefore "Valid", and registration under section 8 has no bearing on its validity.
