Married twice but only to save myself and the girl, please advise


27-Jan-2023 (In Divorce Law)
married a girl who was as old as my elder son because her brother in law falsely accused both of us having an affair,which we didn't.We were colleagues doing network marketing.She was just my downline & I had worked with 1000s of women before also,no special attention was given to her.Her brother in law had family grudges with her so he spoiled her name and tortured and beaten her in front of public. She kept a condition that I shhould marry her or else she will attempt suicide.I didn't understood what to do so I married her.My family disowned me and threw me from my home. I am living with her from 7 yrs now we have a daughter(5 yrs),but my 1st family keeps torturing me.They are mentally harrasing me for the property.I am giving 8kmonthly+3sacks of rice annualy.My son's are 28 & 26 yrs of age. My 1st wife is not filing divorce because she knows that whatever I am giving is more than enough. B4 taking the decision to marry this girl I told everyone about this situation.

Hi I hope you are Hindu. whatever situation was during your second marriage is not considered, you had performed second marriage without giving divorce to 1st wife that means you are at fault according to Hindu Marriage act 2nd marriage is void. Now you can only settle the matter with your first wife

If you are a Hindu your second marriage is invalid. What is your question is not clear. If you want your wife to agree to divorce try and negotiate with her by giving her a good settlement, otherwise you will have to file one sided divorce .

Hi

In this case you have to file petition for nullity in the family court.
You don't need pay maintenance and other expenses till court orders you to do so.
File the said application within prescribed limitation of time contemplated under the law
