As per hindu law 2nd marriage is void during the life of the first wife. Hence 2nd lady divorce petition is not maintainable because she has no right legally. Ist wife is only the legally wedded wife.

Law has changed now. under the provisions of DV Act, even a lady living in relation with a man even without marriage is entitled for the grant of maintenance allowance and in the present case the maintenance under section 24 of HM Act is not payable but definitely such lady is entitled under DV Act.

Yea DV act is to be taken into account along with HM act, As Rajeev is right in answering, raj makkas is also right in including his opinion.I agree with above comments.
