What cases can be filed against illegal marriage ?

Respected Experts,

An appeal against divorce case is pending in the District court and in between the proceeding my husband performed illegal second marriage.

Now, I got the marriage registration certificate of his second marriage.

He is in US now with second wife.

Please advice now what cases I can file against him and his second wife along with rest family members.

Thanks in advance...

Dear querist,

Second marriage in substance of first marriage for a Hindu is illegal in India. You may book your husband under section 494 Indian Penal Code.

 

494. Marrying again during lifetime of husband or wife.—Whoever, having a husband or wife living, marries in any case in which such marriage is void by reason of its taking place during the life of such husband or wife, shall be punished with imprisonment of either descripttion for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine.

When marriage certificate is there no further proof is required, unless the said document is forged document.

@ harish vats : First read the question properly.

I didn't ask your solo openion.My question was about to take the action against illegal act where as I have a strong proof of second marriage.

Remember one thing always : Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinched...
