Question wise replies are

1) in OBC cast stamp paper divorce is valid ?  No

2)  his first wife has signed divorce papers on notary..can she withrow her concent after filing of 13 b  divorce petition in court. ?  It is a waste paper. Consent or no consent do not affect.

3) can second wife  can file any legal steps for cheating her ? Which other acts / punishment can be charged on husband ? Section 494 of Indian Penal Code, 1860

4) can second wife get maintenance from his husband ? Yes, she can claim and get maintenance from her partner (marriage is void).
