Husband married another women without divorce What action can I take
01-Aug-2023 (In Divorce Law)
It seems that you have been subjected to domestic violence and your husband has engaged in bigamy by marrying another woman while still being married to you. Bigamy is an offence under sections 494 and 495 IPC. To prove bigamy, you will need to gather evidence that establishes the existence of two valid marriages by your husband. Here are some types of evidence that can be helpful in proving bigamy:
-
Marriage certificates: Obtain copies of the marriage certificates for both your marriage with your husband and any subsequent marriage that he may have entered into. These certificates can serve as official proof of the marriage.
-
Witness statements: If you are aware of individuals who witnessed the subsequent marriage or have knowledge of your husband's relationships, their statements or testimonies can be valuable evidence. These witnesses can provide details about the ceremonies, dates, and locations of the subsequent marriage.
-
Photographs or videos: If you have access to any photographs or videos that depict your husband's subsequent marriage, they can serve as evidence. Look for visual documentation of the ceremonies, including your husband's presence and participation.
-
Public records: Conduct research to identify any public records or official documents that may indicate your husband's subsequent marriage. This can include marriage registration records, divorce records, or any other legal documents that provide evidence of two marriages.
-
Social media or online evidence: In some cases, individuals may have shared information about their marriages or relationships on social media or online platforms. Look for any digital evidence that supports your claim of bigamy, such as posts, messages, or photographs shared publicly by your husband or his other partners.
-
Private investigators: If you believe your husband has entered into additional marriage but are having difficulty gathering evidence, you may consider hiring a private investigator to gather information and evidence on your behalf. Private investigators can conduct discreet investigations and provide documentation to support your case.

What happens if you marry someone while still married?
he can be charged for bigamy but you have to prove the relationship with another women as wife, as the name mentioned in the passport in the wife's coloumn or ration card etc are itself a sufficient proof of marriage unless he shows the death and divorce decree before marrying you and you should file a divorce on that basis by showing the reason of cruelity and cheating and you should claim maintenance from him, and definitely you will get the custody of your child.
