Wah beta, divorce bhi karli, aur woh vapas aana bhi chahti he? If you simply keep her with you she will be your keep, ie it will be live in relationship. If you want to keep her, marry her again and then keep her with you, under PWDVA 2005, even if you dont marry her again, and just keep her with you, she can claim allimonni from you and if you dont pay, you can go to jail.
What I would suggest is, better ask her to find someone else, once it has not worked, will you be able to come out of it again?
Tell ur friend that she is no more wife, and if at all she wishes to be with him & with his new family she can be a third person or as a unpaid servant provided she has to give a undertaking letter on a stamp paper with proper witness, stating that she is no more a wife either or a living in person and has no relationship in anykind, further she will not make / claim any claims what so ever either during your friend`s life time or afterwards. And also make sure that she does not haveany legal identity with ur friend or friend`s present familyin any forms( like ration card,voter id,adhar ect.,).. this is considered mainly on her apologising mood ur friend` sympathatic consideration with permission of the new family and also ensure it should have adverse effect on the entire family.
kindlyisert NO. And read as it should hav NO adverse effect on the entire family
What is his legally married wife is thinking about this new proposal? Is it a matter between him and his ex-wife and is there no role to the present wife? In which world we are living? If the ex-wife is in financial distress, as she has not married, she can file maintenance case and get it.
