2. has 2 living wifes
3. has married and contracted a second marriage
and as wife has file case of 498 A false case if domestic voilence in this matter will the govt job be denied to husband and what will be impact of it on his police verification for central hovt service he is going to be selected in.
please guide.
The query is not clear about whether a divorce decree was granted by a competent court.
If presumed the decree was granted, then there are no 2 wives only 1 wife and I believe he should select 'married and one wife living',
If the decree was not granted both are guilty of bigamy. They need to wait for the divorce decree.
I am not sure that the 2 and 3 options are available in the declaration form.
As to police verification, usually only those offences that get registered in police files are found in search report and not the private complaint (as in your case) filed in court. However in your declaration for offence being registered in your name or any case is pending in any court of law, you may need to provide the details of the 498A case.
