Exhibit F Deposition by Written Questions of Dr. Alsan Ghaffari;
Exhibit G March 10,2014, Temporary Orders Hearing Transcript, Page ll- 22;and Exhibit H Business Records Affidavit of Post Legacy Apartments filed June 9, 2014.
II. STATEMENT OF FACTS Roger and Respondent, Maryam Farahmand (hereinafter "Maryam"), were purportedly married on July 28, 2012. On December 30, 2013, Roger filed his Original Petition for Divorce. After filing, Roger discovered for the first time that Maryam had previously been married to Amir Bagherkalantari (hereinafter "Amir"). After further investigation, Roger learned that not only had Maryam married Amir on or about December 12, 2009, but she had never divorced Amir. Exhibit "A." On March 4, 2014, Maryam was deposed and Maryam stated that neither she nor Amir had ever filed for divorce nor filed for an annulment. Exhibit "B," p. 84. Subsequently, Roger uncovered the wedding video from Maryam and Amir' s nuptials as well as a copy of their marriage license. A true and correct copy of Maryam and Amir' s wedding video transcript and marriage license is attached hereto for all purposes as Exhibit "C" and "D," respective Iy. Roger also learned that the marriage license was never filed due to a misunderstanding by a guest at the wedding, Shahrbanoo Khanipour, who held on to the license unknowingly. A true and correct copy of selected excerpts of the Deposition of Shahrbanoo Khanipour is attached Page- 2 Page 2 of 131 hereto for all purposes as Exhibit "E." However, despite the lack of filing, the license is fully executed and does bear the signature of the officiant, Dr. Asian Ghaffari. See a true and correct copy of the deposition on written question responses from Dr. Asian Ghaffari is attached hereto for all purposes as Exhibit "F," page 7, question 21 (Dr. Ghaffari answered yes to the question, "Did you officiated or conduct Maryam Parviz Khyavi and Amir Bagherkalantari' s wedding ceremony?"). Finally, after Maryam and Amir married, they moved into an apartment in Plano, Texas wherein Amir identifies, in his emergency contact section of the apartment application, Maryam as his wife. In Maryam's application to the apartment complex, she writes that the reason she is moving is that she is "getting married." A true and correct copy of the apartment lease and applications written by Maryam and Amir are attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes as Exhibit "H." Accordingly, upon learning of the prior marriage, Roger filed his First Amended Petition to Declare Marriage Void and in the Alternative Second Amended Petition for Divorce. On July 31, 2014, Maryam filed Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Partial Summary Judgment On Petitioner's Allegations of Prior Marriage to Amir Bagherkalantari (hereinafter "Motion for Summary Judgment."). Maryam's hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment features a traditional motion for summary judgment and a no evidence motion for summary judgment. IV. RESPONSE To No EVIDENCE MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT Maryam challenges Roger's action to void the marriage stating that he has failed to provide any evidence of a ceremonial marriage or an informal marriage. A. Authority/Standard of Review. The no-evidence summary judgment motion is a procedural device designed to help the party who does not have the burden of proof at trial, generally the defendant. Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 166(a)(i) requires the trial court to grant the motion for no-evidence summary judgment if the nonmovant does not produce summary judgment evidence that raises a genuine issue of material fact. [1] To defeat a no-evidence motion for summary judgment, the nonmovant must produce more than a scintilla of evidence to raise a genuine issue of material fact on the challenged elements. 2 A nonmovant produces more than a scintilla of evidence when the evidence "rises to a level that would enable reasonable and fair-minded people to differ in their conclusions. " 3 A trial court must resolve all reasonable doubt about the facts in favor of the nonmovant. 4 MARYAM FARAHMAND March 4, 2014

THE WITNESS: No. THE COURT: Are you telling me that anyone in Islamic law is authorized to perform a wedding? THE WITNESS: That's my thought and understanding. THE COURT: Okay. And just so that I understand, I know that there are several subdivisions of Islam, Sunni, for example, Shi'ite. What subdivision are you? THE WITNESS: Shi'ite. THE COURT: Thank you. So the world will know, I'm not an expert under Islamic law, but at least I've got his testimony that he is authorized to do that. That would, at least at this point in time, cover him as far as 2.02 is concerned. Mr. Nace. MR. NACE: Thank you, Your Honor.
