Motion for leave to appeal dismissed without costs.
The moving party brought a motion for leave to appeal a lower court decision.
The Divisional Court dismissed the motion for leave to appeal without costs.
The court granted an annulment after finding the parties were incapable of consummating their arranged marriage.
The court considered whether a marriage should be annulled for non-consummation.
The applicant husband claimed the marriage was never consummated and sought an annulment; the respondent wife claimed consummation occurred and sought a divorce.
After reviewing the evidence, including the parties' testimony and medical records, the court found that the marriage was not consummated within the meaning of the law and that both parties were incapable of consummating it, not merely unwilling.
The court granted a declaration of nullity (annulment) and declined to find any other ground for annulment, such as immigration fraud or lack of consent.
Custody Motion dismissed
This decision addresses an interim parenting and school placement dispute following a parent's unilateral relocation with children in breach of a separation agreement.
The court finds the mother acted unilaterally and without candor, and orders the children to remain at their original school, with a detailed interim parenting schedule and joint decision-making (with final authority to the father if consensus cannot be reached).
The decision emphasizes the primacy of the children's best interests, the importance of stability, and the need for full disclosure and procedural fairness in family law proceedings.
