if your brother in law will marry with another woman without obtaining the decree of divorce then in that case this marriage will be treated as illegal and void . Also your brother in law will also commit criminal offence under Indian Panel Code which is called offence of bigamy. your sister can lodge a police report regarding harrasment and cruelty in concerned police station and also file a criminal complaint case against her husband under domestic violence act. your sister can also claim the maintenance for herself and her children from her husband under 125 Cr.P.C. I hope that you will get all the answers to your enquiry. Still any professional advice required then you can contact me through the administrator of this website

नहीं यह शादी पूरी तरह से अवैध है एक पत्नी के रहते हुए दूसरी पत्नी से विवाह असंभव के साथ-साथ गैरकानूनी भी है यदि ऐसा कुछ हो रहा है तो आप संबंधित थाने में प्रार्थना पत्र देकर उचित कार्यवाही करा सकते हैं परंतु यह पूरी तरह से शादी अवैध है और इसके तहत शादी करने वाले को बाइक द्वी विवाह के अंतर्गत सजा हो सकती है

If this is a hindu marriage then without obtaining the decree of divorce second marriage is illegal. It is also relevant to mention here that in Muslims the second marriage is permissible under some strict conditions. Your sister can file a case of domestic violence act because threat of second marriage is also amounts to the cruelty.
