Bigamy

my question is to Mr. Augustine.....

if i am married to a lady...and i perform a hindu marriage type ceremony with another unmarried girl and i do all the rituals like sindur and mangalsutra but i do not do sat phere ( saptpada) in that event.... would that amount to the offence of Bigamy????

If thats recognized by the crowd who witnessed it as marriage then yo are definitely guilty of bigamy under sec 494

Dear, You said you are a married lady and with the unmarried girl... That's not even a valid marriage ... Kapil Chandna Adv 9899011450

Sorry I read it wrong .... No complete marriage without satpadi .... But customs also make a difference ... Kapil Chandna Adv 9899011450
