Do I have rights to restitution?


15-Apr-2023 (In Family Law)
One man was separated from his wife for 2 years, never met her. Promised to marry me and leave her and divorce her. I have all in writing, where he says even that we have the Gandharva marriage and I will always be his wife even if I am not with him. Seems he was a fraud and liar and was cheating on his wife. He cheated me majorly, and returned to his toxic abusive wife, leaving me heartbroken. Since he claimed me as his wife and promised to marry me, do I have any rights? Can I claim restitution of any kind? Ps...I am a foreigner, practicing Hindu.

if his first marriage is legally valid the second one is not legal unless it is legally divorced . however u can claim maintenance under the provisions of protection of women from domestic violence act if you lived with him at any point of time under a shared household. you can also avail other options of IPC offences for any other kind of exploitation
