Need advice on family matter


12-Jun-2023 (In Family Law)
I got married to a guy in Nov, 2012 as per Hindu tradition who was resident of UAE. Within 3 months of our marriage I got to know that he was already married with a kid, so I left him in Mar, 2013. After that I am not in touch with him; I dont want to do any legal proceedings against him but I wanted to know if he holds any legal right over me. Our marriage was not a registered marriage

As you said that your husband was married to a kid before. This makes it complicated as to ascertain validity of his first marriage.
If his first marriage is legal then you need to get your marriage nullified under section 11 of Hindu Marriage Act.
Although the facts what you have provided are not complete to ascertain your legal position. I need more details so that right legal advice can be provided and there after appropriate legal remedy can be sorted. Plz feel free to contact me any time.

As you said that he was already married . Still he has his first wife or not ? If no then he has all legal rights with you and you need to get divorce from your husband . If he has first wife then it's diffrent.

Hi, No he does not carry any rights over you for the reason he was already married and second marriage without divorcing the first wife is null and void. But you have not clarified whether he was divorcee with his former wife or whether his wife was dead. If his wife is alive or alive at the time of your marriage, your marriage is null and void. To be on the safer side you should get the decree of annulment of marriage from the court.
