Pregnancy of a girl at the time of her marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955:

Under Section 12(1)(d) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, a marriage is voidable and may be annulled by a decree of nullity if the respondent was at the time of the marriage pregnant by some person other than the petitioner. Under Section 12(2)(b), such a petition can be entertained only if the petitioner was ignorant of the fact at the time of the marriage, proceedings were instituted within one year from the date of the marriage, and marital intercourse with the petitioner's consent has not taken place since the discovery of the pregnancy.
