My sister married to a NRI man who was already married and in the process of getting divorce from his American wife.This is something which myself and my sister knew and as his divorce process in US took long so he got married to my sister few months before he got the US divorce decree.He got married to my sister in India in a temple and till now their marriage is not registered.Now they have problems and my sister wants divorce.
Now if we file a case then my sisters marriage becomes void and we can charge 494 against him but my sister will not get anything like maintenance or any alimony.They don't have any kids.
Also its said that only first wife can file 494 then what case my sister can file against him.How can my sister get compensation and get divorce.
I talked to our lawyer and he said this man is in big trouble and has no escape route and have to pay heavy compensation to my sister is this really true?
Yes he already informed about his divorce proceedings but there is no proof so our lawyer wants that we file case against him but we are worried will this make my sisters marriage void and we get nothing.
