Mental harrassment by husband beating up children and still harassing

First and foremost, bigamy is an offence under IPC. Sadly, that also means that the second marriage is void as per the Hindu Marriage Act. It cannot be ratified by the second spouse. However, that does not disqualify such person to claim maintenance from the husband either under CrPC or Hindu Marriage Act.

Secondly, you must inform yourself of the important law- S.498A IPC which punishes the Husband or his relatives for cruelty inflicted upon wife. The definition of the term "cruelty" is very wide and it includes mental cruelty even of the slightest nature. The facts disclosed in the question clearly qualify that threshold.

Thirdly, such cruelty is also a good ground for obtaining divorce from the spouse (in case the bigamy charge does not come to fruition) under the Hindu Marriage Act.

A complaint under section 498A can be made simply by calling 100 and providing facts which disclose such cruelty. This will lead to immediate arrest of the husband. On the other hand, the complaint of Bigamy cannot be made to the police but has to be made in writing to the magistrate. You may need a lawyer for this.

Lastly you can also claim a permanent injunction against him from writing to your seniors in job and disrupting your professional life and affairs.

Hello,
For the query you posted, I would suggest the following:

You must decide what you want in the end. He has committed bigamy and that is punishable under law.
Thus it must be decided what you wish for and accordingly advice could be given.

In the meantime, you could think over filing a domestic violence complaint against the person.

I hope that answers your query.
