Religious website preaching bigamy

This query is : Resolved
One of my acquaintances got married to an Indian (Hindu) Dubai resident in 2006.
She stayed with him for 7-8 months after which she came for a 2 month holiday to India.Since then she got deserted by him as he changed his jobs and addresses but never informed her.3 years later she discovered that he had put up his matrimonial profile in a very famous religious Hindu website,where he gave his marital status as "separated"
So she wrote the owner and also sent her the marriage certificate to prove that she's married to him.
But the owner was very rude and sided with this man even without knowing him personally.She investigated this matter by just asking him the truth,and obviously he will never say that he deserted her.So he gave a picture that he is living separately mutually with his wife,and that his family was harassed a lot by her.The owner just believed him and refused to remove his profile.Rather she harassed the already harassed wife by lecturing her that the wife has to be submissive to her husband at all costs.If the man deserts her,she must have provoked him.Even if he's faulty and deserted her, the girl should not live with her parents but like a destitute in some religious city like Haridwar and let her husband remarry(even without a divorce) because Hindu religion permits it.If she wants to return to him,she must bow down to him(no matter how cruel he is) and seek his apology.And if he deems it fit,he may/may not call her.
Rather she also forwarded all these lectures to this husband,so that he also realises that he's not faulty in posting his profiles,and that Hindu religion fully supports him.
Can the wife sue this owner for using such words,and preaching bigamy like this?And for also refusing to remove his profile?
The owner,though Indian lives in USA.
Please suggest what action can be taken?

If the owner of the website in spite of your complaint does not remove such profile then you can lodge complaint to the Cyber Cell of your area. If the advocacy for bigamy by that lady is in writing then she would be in further trouble.
