Can I register my second marriage without mentioning my divorce?
17-Jul-2024 (In Divorce Law)
No you cannot declare this marriage as first marriage.
When you registered your second marriage, you are required disclose about first marriage in the application for marriage registeration.
Along with the form you are required to furnish an affidavit where you will declare that you were a divorcee.
In India, registering a second marriage without legally dissolving the first is not permitted and constitutes a criminal offense under Section 494 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which deals with bigamy. A second marriage is legally valid only after the first marriage has been dissolved by a court decree or if the first spouse is deceased. Otherwise, the second marriage is considered void, and the person may face criminal prosecution, including imprisonment.
