Marrying by either ways during the pendancy of previous marriage is a crime in India.

Thank you sir. In divorce, if wife is a govt employee, can she ask for maintenance??? Will she be entitled to have any share in property of husband???

If the income of the husband is very high than the wife then she is duly entitled to claim at par status from her husband and thus can demand maintenance.

A divorcee wife has no legal right to get any share in the property of her husband as per law in vogue.

Yes , unless there is great disparity in the income between the the two, working wife is not entitled to maintenance.
