As long as the first marriage is not legally dissolved by means of a divorce, the subsequent marriage is not legally valid. You have to file a petition at the proper family court in consultation with your local lawyer.

As per I. P. C. She can be punished for bigamy to serve not less than 4 years imprisonment. Jail sentence. But you have to prove the second marriage beyond doubt. You must collect best believable .

Hi,
Sir if your marriage legally registered means she will punished by court of law. Otherwise she willyour case very interesting she agreed in the court. U said then she married other boy.That is called (Bigamy )So She can be booked under IPC 494 which may result imprisonment up to 07 years with fine and second marriage will become null & void.But you must prove it .In this circumstance u can file a criminal complaint against your father in law family. Write your complaint very carefully otherwise they will escape .what petition u filed in family court?.
I think they canceled your marriage in the registration office kindly verify..
If you approached right away with good advocate means they cannot escape from court of law.Your case is rarest of rare case ...very interesting and also very challenging case sir. I hope you can understand my legal points.If you have any doubts feel free to call me..

For reference case :Director Cheran Daughter love marriage case
