Wife concealing facts

Under which act/law..

legal action can be taken by relatives  against the existing living first wife for concealing the fact for past 20years that her husband has a second wife. 



Quick Summary
This discussion explores legal recourse for relatives when a wife has concealed her husband's bigamy for two decades. While relatives may not have direct legal action against the wife, the conversation touches upon provisions of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and potential actions the first wife might take. The core issue revolves around the concealment of a second marriage and the implications for all parties involved.
