Can anyone suggest how to acheive that?

I am using following validator class.

You can create a new rule in jquery validation plugin. Check this link jquery-validate – addMethod – how to apply custom rule referencing two text boxes?

In this rule you can check the form field and accordingly return the value of rule.

Or otherwise you can change the rule for a field. Suppose you got a field ‘firstName’, so you can add your custom code like this

firstName:
{
   required: function(element)
   {
      // here you can add your custom code
   }
}
