Marriage validation without taking divorce from 1st wife


04-Feb-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My husband was married in Apr 2008 and his 1st wife left him 2011 and was not legally divorced to his first wife; I had to marry him in Apr 2012 as he stopped my wedding with other person and created complicated situations to my family. He has not changed in last 8 years and living on my earnings. If I have to come out of this marriage, should I go for divorce; our marriage is really valid? Pls advise.

Your marriage is not valid since he is not got divorce from his first wife. Is your marriage is registered any where? If yes, you have to take legal divorce. Also verify about his first wife whether she remarried again to any other person or she is willing to rejoin him.

Hello. On the first note, Your marriage is not legal as your husband was not eligible to marry again. Any hindu cannot have two wives at one time, he is supposed to divorce the first wife and then he could have marry you. Without divorcing first wife second marriage is null and void.
