MASTER'S REPORT
Proceedings held before
E. Robert Elicker, II, Master
9 North Hanover Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania
Proceedings held on May 27, 2009, commencing at
2:30 p.m.
APPEARANCES:
Robert E. Rains, Esq. and
Rebecca Faulkner, Certified Legal Intern
Counsel for Plaintiff
•
PROCEDURAL HISTORY
•
The annulment complaint was filed on January 22, 2009, raising grounds for
annulment pursuant to 23 Pa C.S. §3304(a)(3), whereby the marriage shall be declared
void because either party did not intend to consent to the marriage, and 23 Pa C.S.
§3305(a)(5), whereby the marriage shall be declared voidable because one party was
induced to enter into the marriage due to fraud. Defendant was served with the complaint
by United States mail, certified, restricted delivery, return receipt requested on January
26, 2009.
The Master was appointed on motion of Plaintiff on February 18, 2009. The
Master scheduled a hearing for May 27, 2009 and sent notice to both parties. Defendant
is not represented by counsel. The notice sent to Defendant at her address in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has not been returned from the postal service as unclaimed.
The hearing on the annulment claim was held on May 27, 2009 at 2:30 p.m.
Plaintiff appeared with his counsel. Defendant did not appear.
Testimony was placed on the record. The record was closed and the Master
proceeded to prepare and file his report.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Plaintiff, Saad Syed, resides at 860 Carlwynne Manor Court, A-308, Carlisle,:
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17013; Defendant, Homama Chaudhary, resides at
483 Pinewood Road, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania 19116.
2. There are no jurisdictional issues in this case. Plaintiff has resided in this county
and the Commonwealth for a period in excess of six months prior to the commencement
of this annulment action.
3. The parties were married in a civil ceremony before the Honorable Kevin A. Hess
on December 11, 2008 in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. They have remained separate and apart
from that date.
0 •
4. The annulment complaint was served on Defendant by United States mail,
certified, restricted delivery, return receipt requested on January 26, 2009. A return of
service is made part of the record.
5. Notice of the hearing before the Master scheduled for May 27, 2009 was sent to
Defendant at 483 Pinewood Road, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19116. The notice was not
returned to the Master's office by the postal service.
6. Plaintiff and Defendant have only seen one another three times, and there has
been no cohabitation or consummation of their marriage.
7. Plaintiff and Defendant are Muslims. Following their religious tradition, their
families entered into an arranged marriage agreement in the fall of 2008. Also following
their religious tradition, Defendant is under her father's custody, and thus he made all
communications and decisions regarding the arranged marriage on Defendant's behalf.
8. The parties first saw one another on August 24, 2008 at Defendant's home in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At this meeting, the parties' families entered into an
agreement for Plaintiff and Defendant to marry. Plaintiff and Defendant did not speak to
one another on this occasion.
9. Plaintiff's family asked Defendant's family if they required any payment as part
of the marital agreement. Defendant's family said they did not.
10. The parties saw one another for the second time on November 20, 2008. On this
date, the parties and their families met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to apply for the
parties' marriage license.
11. The parties saw one another for the third time on December 11, 2008 when they
were married in a civil ceremony before the Honorable Kevin A. Hess in Carlisle,
Pennsylvania. They exchanged civil vows but did not kiss or exchange rings.
Immediately following the civil ceremony, Defendant returned to her home in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania without Plaintiff.
12. A three-day religious ceremony, known as a rukhsati and commencing on
December 20, 2008, was to follow the civil ceremony. To the parties, the rukhsati would
signify their actual marriage.
13. After the civil marriage, but prior to the religious ceremony, Defendant's father
contacted Plaintiff's family and, for the first time, made a demand for twenty thousand
dollars. Defendant's father told Plaintiff and his family that if they did not meet his
demand for twenty thousand dollars he would not present his daughter for the rukhsati.
14. Plaintiff and his family refused to meet Defendant's father's demand of payment
of twenty thousand dollars. Defendant's father called off the rukhsati on Defendant's
behalf.
•
C?
15. Plaintiff and Defendant have neither seen nor spoken to one another since
December 11, 2008, the day of their civil marriage ceremony.
16. In the eyes of the parties, their families, and their religion, the parties have not
entered into the marital state because the rukhsati has not been performed.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
Defendant did not intend to consent to the marriage, and as such, the civil
marriage entered into on December 11, 2008 is void pursuant to 23 Pa C.S. §3304(a)(3).
DISCUSSION
The conduct that Defendant and her father, as her intermediary, engaged in
toward Plaintiff and his family, as set forth in the testimony and as outlined in the
findings of fact set forth above, was of such a nature as to show that Defendant did not
intend to consent to enter into the marital state when she purported to do so on December
11, 2008.
Both Plaintiff and Defendant are Muslims. In keeping with their religious
tradition, the parties' families entered into an agreement for an arranged marriage
between Plaintiff and Defendant. Also in keeping with their religious tradition,
Defendant is under her father's custody, and thus Defendant's father made all
communications and decisions regarding the arranged marriage on Defendant's behalf.
The parties were married in a civil ceremony conducted on December 11, 2008.
However, in the eyes of the parties and their religious community, this ceremony was
simply a legal precursor to their actual marriage to be entered into in a three-day religious
celebration, known as a rukhsati, commencing on December 20, 2008. To Plaintiff and
Defendant, the rukhsati would signify their actual union as husband and wife. Plaintiff
entered into the civil marriage in good faith and in reliance upon Defendant's father's
• •
prior assurance that he would not require payment for allowing his daughter to enter into
the marriage. Defendant's father, however, demanded payment of twenty thousand
dollars after Plaintiff and Defendant took part in the civil ceremony. This monetary
demand subsequent to the civil ceremony but prior to the religious ceremony shows that
Defendant did not intent to consent to the marriage. Defendant's father told Plaintiff that
if he and his family refused to make this payment, Defendant's father would call off the
religious ceremony. Thus, Defendant's intent to consent to the marriage was contingent
on Plaintiff's payment of twenty thousand dollars to her father, a condition only made
known to plaintiff and his family after the civil ceremony. Since Plaintiff and his family
refused to pay the twenty thousand dollars, which had not been bargained for, Defendant
did not enter into the marital state, and her voiced consent at the civil ceremony on
December 11, 2008, was a nullity.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the Master's recommendation that Plaintiff is entitled to an annulment under
23 Pa C.S. §3304(a)(3) because Defendant did not intend to consent to enter into the ;state
of marriage.
Respectfully submitted,
E. Robert Elicker, II
