My wife cheats me and government

Based on your facts, you have multiple legal remedies: Criminal Action – Cheating & Bigamy: Since she was not legally divorced before marrying you, the second marriage is void. This attracts Section 494 IPC (Bigamy). Suppressing this fact and taking ₹10 lakh from you amounts to cheating (Section 420 IPC) and criminal breach of trust (Section 406 IPC). You can file a detailed complaint with the Superintendent of Police or Magistrate under Section 200 CrPC if no FIR is filed despite the CSR. Fraudulent Widow Certificate: She obtained a widow certificate after marrying you to secure a government job, which amounts to forgery (Section 468 IPC) and use of forged document (Section 471 IPC). Submit a complaint to the certificate-issuing authority and request cancellation and departmental inquiry. Civil Suit for Recovery: You can file a money recovery suit in the civil court for ₹10 lakh, with proof such as bank transfers, chats, or witness statements. Petition for Nullity: File a case under Section 11 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 to declare the marriage null and void due to her subsisting previous marriage. Writ Petition – Police Inaction: If police fail to act, you may file a writ petition under Article 226 before the High Court for FIR direction. Keep all documents, photos, and communication records safe. — Adv. Arjun S Rajendra Law Office LLP, Chennai
