There seems to be no end in sight for the troubles of Sanjay Dutt and his companion Manyata who got “married” a few weeks back.

Just days after the couple withdrew their joint declaration of registered marriage, there is more trouble brewing for them.




Now, we learn that the wedding of Sanjay Dutt and ‘wife’ Manyata as per Hindu rites may be invalid if she has not converted to Hinduism before the marriage on February 11.

Manyata is in fact a Muslim and her real name is Dilnawaz Sheikh, reports say.

"According to the Hindu Marriage Act, if the couple are Hindus at the time of marriage, only then is the marriage valid under the Act," noted lawyer Mrunalini Deshmukh said.

"Even though Sanjay and Manyata have filed a joint declaration with South Goa's registration authorities seeking withdrawal of their marriage declaration, they will be husband and wife if their marriage as per the Hindu Marriage Act is valid," Deskhmukh said.

But if Manyata has not converted before the marriage rites, then either party can challenge the marriage at the time of annulment, as it is an invalid marriage.

The joint declaration filed by the couple before South Goa's Salcette Sub registrar's office states that they do not desire to solemnise their marriage under the Portuguese Civil Code, 1867.
