second marriage is illegal . first husband can file criminal case against his wife for adultery .

as far as you are concerned you are only a witness . you were not aware that she was already married . your name cannot be with drawn as witness

Yes!Mr.Sethi is right.The second marriage is illegal consequently every thing done under it is also illegal and the wife has exposed herself to prosecution for several offences.

However you can plead safe that you new the second husband and did knew the that lady had subsisting marriage.However there can not be your withdrawal from wittiness.

First husband can file for bigamy against wife and adultery against the second husband.

Yes the views are all right.
The second marriage has no sanction of law and a non est in the eye of law.
The second husband would now suffer.

Husband is first and live in relationship is with second person without obtained a formal decree of divorce is an offence on the part of wife so she can not only be prosecuted under the provisions of IPC but this is the best ground with the husband to get rid of such lady by filing a petition seeking a decree of divorce.

witness documentation cannot be withdrawn at any case.

unless you were connected with the first marriage in any manner,your witnessing the second marriage will not be a problem for you.

Yes!all have correctly spoken.You as witness can not withdraw but need not worry just because of being witness to second marriage.
