about 494 ipc

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 25 March 2010 This query is : Resolved 
sir,
my friend who is a hindu and also a govt. employee got married to a hindu man who is having a living wife. after knowing abt the earlier marriage of his husband, on her lawyer's suggestion, she got filed a civil suit in the court of law to legalise her marriage as she is unaware of the earlier marriage and her husband also supported her abt her unknowingness of his earlier marriage. now the first wife got filed a criminal complaint against my fried and her husband u/s 498a,494 and 323 ipc and also claiming for maintanance.the first wife got transferred all the property of my friend's husband in her name. the only proof of my friend's marriage that the first wife has is the civil suit filed by my friend and none other. kindly clarify whether the civil suit filed by my friend is an evidence u/s 494 and is there any scope of escape for my friend and her husband from this case?

Yes. It is certainly a strong evidence for the marriage.
