Mr Sanajay and Mr Ajay can file bigamy on the PRINCESS

Read:

 

Section 494 in The Indian Penal Code, 1860
494. Marrying again during lifetime of husband or wife.-- Whoever, having a husband or wife living, marries in any case in which such marriage is void by reason of its taking place during the life of such husband or wife, shall be punished with imprisonment of either descripttion for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine. Exception.- This section does not extend to any person whose marriage with such husband or wife has been declared void by a Court of competent jurisdiction, nor to any person who contracts a marriage during the life of a former husband or wife, if such husband or wife, at the time of the subsequent marriage, shall have been continually absent from such person for the space of seven years, and shall not have been heard of by such person as being alive within that time provided the person contracting such subsequent marriage shall, before such marriage takes place, inform the person with whom such marriage is contracted of the real state of facts so far as the same are within his or her knowledge.

@Reema,

live and let live.

You concealed facts (infertility) from your second husband and now you are trying to keep him by any means.This is not fair.Your husband has right to live life as he wishes because your marriage subsists on falsehood.

You told you brothers are millioniar and they can do anything for you.Then why you want your poor husband's property ?You yourself also earning.Buy a flat and live peacefully.

dear  Consellors
 Pl  comment and advice on the  following situation:
One Rajkumari married one Mr Sanjay and leaves him  within 2 months of  marriage and  6 later months get mutual divorce on notarised Rs 100/ stamp paper and then  again she marries one Mr Ajay within a year. How bigamy will apply legally?

Case 1 Ajay can file bigamy stating Rajkumari was married at the time of marriage by concealing the facts that she was earlier married with Sanjay and by showing proof it is proved, he can also call sanjay as a vitness to prove this.

Case 2 Sanjay can file bigamy stating that rajkumari has done second marriage without proper divorce

Who is entitled to file a case of bigamy and on whom?

both is entitle to file a case against you..
