Section 12(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act bars a petition on the ground of fraud where "The petitioner has, with full consent, lived with the respondent as husband and wife after discovering the fraud.". The Act also bars a petition filed more than one year after discovery of the fraud, so "The petition was filed more than six months after the discovery of the fraud" is not the statutory bar, and fraud as to material facts concerning the respondent is itself a ground.
