Sir
I have a friend who got married second time as per muslim rituals and rites. Before their marriage the second wife had informed my friend that she was a divorcee and have no issue with her former husband. Later, my friend learned that the second wife had executed the divorce deed with her former husband after a period of 10 months of thir marriage. She is now threatening my friend to give talaq and as maintenance she is demanding 25 lakhs or else she will file 498a. Her former husband has also threatened him for filing adultery case against him as no divorce was existed at the time of their marriage.
Please let me know the legal remedy in order save his life....what action can be taken against his second wife and her former husband
Regards

Dear Client
Have you recorded this threat? If not do it next time. You van divorce her as per shariat and you have solid reasons for doing this. You can pay the mehr as agreed at the time of marriage. Let her file the cases. Nothing will come out. THese are just gimmick to extract money.Secondly, no case of adultery is made against you and on the contrary you can file a criminal complaint for breach of trust and cheating.

Not able to agree.
Your friend has married another man's wife.
How do you prove that he was not aware of she being a wife of another person .
SO let your friend fall on feel of her earlier husband and beg for mercy and also buy peace with the lady. He alopne is at receiving end.
