Hello,
Firstly, i would like to congratulate for this site owners for excellent information + help in forum.
Ours is a joint family. My Dad has two wives. He married my mother first and then few months afterwards he married to another woman due to family presure he couldnt tell the previous marriage.
My Dad and Mother working in same office and hence in other place. Second wife is in other place. Couple of years later verything was revealed and my mom invited second wife to join them but she told she will stay in bangalore. So Dad used to travel frequently around - second wife takes house rental amount and also dad used to send money or give cash when in bangalore to second wife. First wife has one son and one daughter now both married (myself and sister) and second wife has two daughters(one married and another still single) So since almost 35+ years its been like this. Now second wife is trying to be too greedy after I bought house on my own and started troubling my dad for money diretly or indirectly from her relations. My Dad has nothing except his currentgovt job. Additionally, ancestor property which is currently in my grandmother's name (Grandfather & Grandmother both already died).
I have couple of questions :-
1. Can the second wife put a case now after so many years? If yes, who can put the case and regarding what possibilities?
2. My Father and my Mother is very close to me since I take care of them well and seond wife is just money minded. How can be a clear settlement between both parties?
3. Can any of Third person be involved?
4. What all legal actions could be taken from my perspective to make my parents stay with me without any legal obligations related to property, or future money etc.
5. I have asked my parents to take VRS and come with me so that they are safe. I want the VRS amount to be used by my Dad alone wherever he likes/wishes since its his hard earned money. What are legal aspects related to second wife here?
As per Hindu act i know the second marriage is illegal. But what has happened already happend and we should move on. This is now turned to selfishness after I made some property, so would like to have all possible options.
You guidance is really helpful going forward.
Thnak You, - Kino
