I am hindu and I live in bikaner, RAJASTHAN. I got married in 2011 in bikaner with a hindu guy but there were several fights between us so my husband left me in 2017 and started to live seperately in delhi. I still live in my husband’s house with his parents and my one baby. I had doubt that he was living in livin relationship with a hindu girl but I had no proof. Now few days ago, he told us that he did marriage with that girl in 2020 without giving me divorce. I said we are still married and it is illegal then he told he and that girl both have accepted ISLAM religion [like actor Dharmendra and actress Hema Malini] and become muslim before marriage so their marriage is completely legal and I can’t do anything.
1. Is it really true that his marriage is legal ? Isn’t it a crime in eyes of our law?
2. Is there really nothing that I can do to punish him and teach him a lesson? What lawsuit can I file against him ?
3. Can he be arrested for bigamy charges even if he has changed religion before marriage ? or he is completely safe and can live his life without any problem.
4. Is it also called love jihad ? or love jihad is a different thing. I can take this matter to media if it is same as love jihad.
5. Can I still file a domestic violence and dowry case against him because we are still married? Will it be easy for him to get rid of those cases because he can tell police/court that I did it just to take revenge after coming to know about his another marriage which is legal? Will it give him advantage and make my case weak?
Please reply.
Thanks.
