Legal action against man who remarried without getting divorce
23-Apr-2023 (In Family Law)
My dad physically and mentally harassed and tortured my mom they got separated, it’s been 14 years now. My mom always said he was cheating on her, but didnt have proof. I now found out that he is married to another women for last 13 yrs. he never divorced my mom. Plus I found a letter in his own handwriting where he mentioned he is divorced in 2001 And is looking for a new bride. Can I file any complain against him based on these proves. What sections of law can be applied on him ?
If you have proof regarding his marriage and any other documents like photographs with other lady. In 2001 letter what is mention is important, if it is bio-data for marriage. Then your mother can file criminal complaint under section 420, 415, 351 etc For cheating, bigamy , brah of trust etc, u can also file divorce, maintenance and domestic violence case against him and his second illegal wife. The second marriage is void .
Helo madam
Yes your mother can file complaint againt against your father of IPC under section 494. Of Bigamy offence also she will ask for divorce on the same ground and you have proof was strongly enough to proove that your father was cheated your mother from last 13 yrs.

Provided your parents marriage was registered, your mom can file a suit for divorce on the ground of adultery.if your father has remarried without obtaining divorce,then a case of bigamy can be filed against your father. Your mother can also file maintenance application along with the divorce suit.
