Consequences of remarrying without divorcing the first wife
05-Aug-2023 (In Family Law)
Hi, My marriage happened forcefully. I tried telling to both parents and in law also but they did the marriage soon also. . I never stayed one day also with my wife and left her with her parents itself. Didn’t go also to meet her once. Later I remarried love of my life. Now my parents came to know about this they brought me home and warned my love of life. Am planning to say about this to my first wife. Can I say it and will they put any case against the girl I remarried? Or any problem to her they can create please suggest me how can I save the girl from their threats and legally move this. As I have already made my mind am not gonna stay with the first wife from the beginning.
I do not understand the reason for not divorcing your first wife if you wanted to marry second time. The first wife can file a case against you for adultery and cheating . I presume you are a hindu. Its better to take consent of your first wife and proceed to divorce.
Yes sir, the first wife cannot file any case against your wife but she can file cases against you. The first Wife can file following cases against you ; 1). Bigamy case, 2). Maintenance case. 3). DV case, 4). Dowry harassment case and so on so forth. If want further details, contact personally.
