get an inquiry with your mutual friend as to the existence of the supposed earlier marriage of your boyfriend and further ask him to disclose the whereabouts of her or ask him to show a photograph of her even. If you are still interested in continuing the relationship with your boyfriend sincerely, then don't hesitate to know the same from his mouth. Because it's his duty to clarify your doubts in a genuine relationship. If the relationship is for timepass, you are advised not to get serious about him. Why shouldn't you think that the information might have been leaked by your boyfriend through your mutual friend? For what reasons? So don't be deeply involved. Later your emotions may hurt and may lead to a great loss which may not be covered up Alert yourself

You can verify the marital status through lawful and independent means without confronting him immediately. Check publicly available marriage-related records, where accessible, and examine reliable documentary or social evidence. Avoid impersonation, hacking, accessing private accounts, or obtaining personal records through unlawful means. If there is credible evidence that he is already married, do not rely merely on verbal assurances. Preserve the evidence and obtain legal advice before taking any further step, particularly if you are contemplating marriage or have suffered deception.

You can verify the information through lawful public sources, such as publicly accessible marriage records where available. However, avoid impersonation, hacking, accessing private accounts, or secretly obtaining protected personal information. If the marriage is legally relevant to a dispute, a lawyer can also advise on obtaining certified records through the appropriate authority.

To discretely verify your boyfriend's marital status without confronting him directly, you can explore a few legal and confidential avenues. First, you can apply for marriage certificate records at the local Sub-Registrar or Marriage Registration Office under public records search or via an RTI application if you know his residential area. Second, check the eCourts website or public judicial database using his full name to see if any matrimonial disputes, restitution of conjugal rights petitions, or divorce cases are registered under his name. Third, hiring a licensed private investigation agency is a common practice to gather discrete, concrete documentary proof. Note that if he is already married and concealing it, entering into a marital relationship based on deceit may attract legal action under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for fraud or bigamy.
