Yes it amounts to bigamy. It's also offence under the law. If you have proof with second marriage. you can lodge a complaint against your wife. It is punishable offence and punishment is up to 2 years. Kindly contact further information.

The new husband of such wife must be booked under section 498 IPC that is enticing a married woman. The IPC has not defined such offense but it is nothing but she running a prostitution. It is a serious matter since because Supreme Court legalised adultery so such strange things happening. If my answer is convincing then please give me Rank FIVE Star in the feedback format sent to your email box.

in this case if the wife has married without obtaining diverse from her husband then the husband can file criminal complaint under section 494 of IPC which is punishable to the extent of seven years imprisonment with fine so the husband can file a complaint before the the court under section 200 of CRPC or file a complaint in the police station where the second marriage has taken place.
