My father got married with his first wife in 1980. After a month she went to meet her family and didn't return back to my father. After some days, My father went to his in laws and they told him that she was here then she returned back to my father. She didn't return back to my father nor to her own family. My father didn't lodged any FIR because his father in law filed FIR in their own local police station.
After 7 years. In 1987, my father got married to my mother. As per hindu marriage act, a man can remarry if his wife is absent or not heard from 7 years. So now come to the problem. My father was govt employee and he nominated her (1982) in service record and he didn't updated my mother name so as he didn't update our current address. After 8 years my father also went missing. He was mentally not stable so his wife was also mentally upset. My mother filed FIR in 1996 and police submitted their non traceable report to his dept.
But they removed him from services by filling charge sheet against him due to absence on duty. We challenged their order in the Tribunal. But now the problem is that service book record is saying that his first wife is nominee in the service record. We dont have records of his first wife or his first marriage or the copy of FIR which her father lodged in their city.
Now how do my mother going to prove her legal wedded wife and also how we will prove that second marriage was not illegal as per hindu marriage act.
