Hello. Second marriage, during the subsistence of the first marriage, is illegal in India and the relationship arising from the same does not have any validity. One of the prime requirements of a legal marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act is that neither party should have a spouse who is alive at the time of the marriage (Section 7). Only the person aggrieved can complain in case of bigamy.

If the aggrieved is the wife, then her father can complain under section 494/495 of the Indian Penal Code. A petition for declaration that the second marriage is void can be filed only by the parties to the marriage and not by the first wife. The wife can file a complaint either in the court or in the Police station.

The Supreme Court has held that a woman is entitled to drag the man to court under section 494 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) which makes bigamy a criminal offence, punishable with a jail term of maximum seven years. Also, you shall be entitled to maintenance and property and shall be considered as his validly married wife in the eyes of law.
