Bigamy case

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 26 July 2011 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir,
I am from Punjab and got married to my husband in 1984. He is an army officer and i am a house wife. We had a daughter in 1985. In 2008, he forcefully got married to another woman without divorcing me. He suppressed me and my daughter by threatening and beating us. My daughter was studying at that time. He threatened me by saying that if i raised my voice, he would stop funding my daughter's education and if needed also kill her. Now after 3 years, my daughter is standing on her own feet and is married. Today i have nothing to loose and hence have decided to raise my voice against my husband. I want to take a legal action against him.. Also, my husband has a son from that lady (2 months old). He has straightforwardly told me that he would not give a penny to me and my daughter from his self acquired property and would give everything to his son and the 2nd lady. Infact, there is plot in uttar pradesh which is registered on my name, however he has kept the registration copy and has refused to give me that also.
Please guide me.
Regards.

hi, don't worry first of all u have to goes to U.P and find out the office of registrar where the land is situated.after that give him a written application to registrar of given to you ( jamabandi) of your land.that will be the proof of your landowner. second thing is that you can approach the police against your husband and lodged FIR against second marriage of your husband.

You can certainly lodge a police complaint against your husband's second marriage and he not giving you the documents of the land which is in your name. You can also get the duplicate papers from the registrar's office if your husband still does not handover the documents to you even after filing the complaint with the police. Your husband's second marriage is void and you can claim your rights as his legally wedded wife.
