Hello,

Was your first marriage annulled?

I am assuming your first marriage was officially registered in India, therefore, it had to be officially ended in India for you to re-marry?

Well I was told if a marriage is not legal it can not be recognised in the future but maybe I should have got it annuled

Was you first marriage legal and registered in India? Is it still registered?

[Qidas]

It was registered with local registar but not court also in my refusal letter it was stated it was illegal in India my current solicitor says it should not be problem as if home refused to recognise it first time so they can't contridict themselves now I did give her a unofficial Islamic divorce in a letter .
