There was a primary responsibility on your part to do a thorough detailed check on your prospective partner before entering into matrimonial relationship. Since there was neglect on your part for doing the same you are partly responsible for the same.However, the lady appears to be a fraud who cheated on you by hiding the fact of her previous marriage and being a mother. Please be specific on the fact whether your marriage is registered or not. Presuming the fact that both of you are majors. If your marriage is registered immediately try to find out if your current wife is a divorcee. If not she is guilty of Bigamy. Legal Proceedings can be taken against her for Bigamy.Marriage during the subsistence of a prevailing wedlock is void. Kindly, intimate the same to your parents and elders and and find a solution for the same.

Dear Client, Caste is determined by birth. The caste of a child is determined on the basis of His/Her fathers caste and mother's caste is irrelevant. Hence since your father belongs to SC you too fall under SC as far as caste goes.

Advocate P Sreelaxmi answered
You have not specified as to the amount of loan/money taken by you and for the purpose taken. Though you have mentioned that you repaid an amount of 1.5 Lakhs and rest through cash, you have not specified whether you got an acknowledgement for the same. If you have not obtained an acknowledgment it is as good as non payment of rest amount . Hence, please be specific on that aspect.Have you gone through the FIR and are you aware of the charges framed against you since you have mentioned that you got a Bail. You need not go in person your representative may be send. Be strict on asking your advocate the case number and try obtaining a copy of charge sheet. Specify to your advocate until and unless he/she provides you with the details you are not going to make any further payments. Keeping the client in dark in regard to the clients case is against professional ethics and amounts to professional misconduct.
