Rights of wife in second marriage

Dheepasrinivasan (Querist) 01 August 2021 This query is : Resolved
Hello Sirs,

I get married in the year Mar 2019 with my husband after he get divorce under exparte divorce decree in the year May 2018. We registered our marriage and we have marriage certificate too. Out of this wedlock, I delivered a baby boy.

In between, Ex-wife of my husband filed FIR saying its a illegal marriage. We filed our documents to the respective police stations and cameout of that issue.

Now, after the birth of my son, she is filing case for set aside saying she didnot get any notices from court for divorce case. She is asking condonation of delay for 150days of delay after her knowledge of exparte divorce.

But she know very well about our marriage. Infact, she gave a written complaint in police station that her husband is sending her mssages stating he is getting married.

She is claiming she knows about divorce only 150days before filing the set asidfe case. But we have a police compliant copy stating she s getting mesdsages from her husband that he is getting married.

She is a mother of a son too.

Please suggest me how to handle this case and what are all the areas needs to be focused to protect my and my sons interest.

Hello,

Let her file case against your husband. You have a good defence to defend and fight out case.

If she file ex-parte drcree set aside petition then your husband has to contest and oppose it seriously,she has least chances.

It is just a complaint before police, which can not be sorted out by police being "out" of their jurisdiction.

Wait for further legal action and contest it through a local prudent lawyer.
