Husband did second marriage without divorce
07-Nov-2023 (In Family Law)
My husband did second marriage without divorce,his second wife is pregnant, but I don't have any proof for his second marriage, can I request the court to take DNA test on his second wife.We both are Hindu, our marriage held before 3 years ,we have a girl baby.
Under Indian Penal Code- If a man marries for the second time when there is already an existing married relationship with his first wife- it amounts to BIGAMY and is a punishable offence; IT ATTACHES CRIMINALITY.
Second marriage is void under law since it has taken place during the life of first wife.
The husband can be punished for a term of up to seven years; and, if the first marriage is concealed up to ten years and also be liable to fine.
However, there are certain exceptions which depend on case to case.
And need file a petition for DNA
