What should I do if my husband was already married before marrying me
05-May-2023 (In Family Law)
My husband has cheated on me. He kept me in dark and convinced me and my family for our marriage to happen. He was already married in 22nd Feb 2016 and didn't disclosed this fact with us. Our marriage was not a forced marriage. This match came through my maternal uncle and after that this guy was back of me like anything (July 2016 to march 2017). Finally we got married on 10 th March 2017 and within 6 months of our marriage I started knowing the fact. Please suggest me what should I do in this situation. Any sort of suggestion will be helpful. Thanks
Non disclosure of previous marriage tantamount to fraud and cheating and a punishable Offences U/s 417 of IPC and 494, 496 of IPC so you could very well file a criminal complaint against him. If you would like to have a legal support you could contact me

Hello Madam,
Sorry for what have happened to you. Your marriage straightaway falls in the category of Void marriage i.e Marriage is in itself invalid. You can approach the court and seek to declare your marriage as void with all the necessary documents which are available with you, most importantly documents related to your husbands first marriage.

What your husband did was a criminal offence. Bigamy is both an offence against Marriage ( Per Hindu Marriage Act, ) as well as a Penal Offence ( under IPC ). If your husband was already married at the time of your marriage, then it makes your marriage void. TYou can file a case of bigamy either in the magistrate court or at the police station. Your father can also lodge a complaint under section 494/495 of the Indian Penal Code. Complaint for cheating can be filed under section 415 of IPC
You can also file a petition for declaring your as void in the family Court.
