I am hindu of 40years. My wife is christian of 46years. Due to unavoidable circumstances we both married 17years back. The marriage was done in my wife residence in a room arranged by her relatives only. This was not inform to my parents for the past 15years. We have a daughter of 16years. I know her previous life history. She is already marriied and have a son now his age is 30. Her husband is still alive married another lady. Her relatives told that they got divorced themselves. Now only i came to know about law. When her husband is still alive, our marriage is legally invalid since they have not legally divorced through court. Now i realise that our marriage is found to be illegal. Moreover i dont want to continue to live with her. How to get divorce from her. What about my daughter of 16years. Kindly advice me.
You can apply for a divorce on the grounds of misrepresentation and fraud. The fact that she concealed makes it completely voidable marriage. But, you should come forward and be ready to provide maintenance for your daughter. You can get in touch with me to take this forward legally.
