sir
i have the following two doubts, please enlight me sir.
1) Bigamy case is attracted to woman or not. I mean to ask sir, if a woman marries second time,where her first marriage is subsiting,will Bigamy case attracts for a woman? Or bigamy is only for men?
2) sir i filed OP before family court. but subsiquently it was transfered to Senior Civil Court, which is not family court. the OP file is transfered by High Court to Senior Civil court. and OP was declared in my favour. the girl prefered appeal in FCA before High court,the case decided against the appeallant.
Now my doubt about the second point is sir, will senior civil Court which is not family court and which was transfered to that court as per high court is having jurisdiction to declare marriage as null and void or not.

1. Bigamy is applicable to both the spouses.
2. The jurisdiction of the courts varies from state to state on which your local advocate would throw light. Moreover you did not mention the place from where you hails.
