If you can prove both these things, these are serious issues. On basis of hiding her prev marriage, your bro is even eligible for a divorce. This also comes under marital fraud.

criminal offence.

reg suppression of dob - ipc sec 416, 419, 120b and most probably 34, applicable on them

it is also a matrimonial offence sec 12(1) (c), hma

'What about the false DOB ?'   ---   ditto.

"she hide her marital status also;she was a divorcee but she told that she was never married.Is this a criminal offence?"   ---   it is criminal offence but unable tell the sec.   it is also a matrimonial offence.
