    Summary The Bombay High Court dismissed the appellant's appeal and upheld the trial court's decision to summarily reject her suit seeking a declaration that she was in a relationship with a deceased man in the nature of marriage and was his widow. The court held that since the deceased had a subsisting marriage with another woman that was never dissolved, the plaintiff could not satisfy the legal requirements established in *D. Velusamy v. D. Patchaiammal*, which mandate that parties must be otherwise qualified to enter into a valid marriage, including being unmarried—a condition explicitly not met in this case.
