Legal Question in Family Law in India
My friend was marr. to a foreigner in year Oct 1999. Sooner her husband left the country and didnt turn up again. There was no news about his whereabouts. Later she marr. an Indian in 2007. Now her husband is harassing her and blackmailing about the same. If a husband is abscond for more than 7 years, does not the marriage become void? What should she do now and what harm could be caused to her by her husband legally, please help.

Your friend should have either filed a divorce proceedin or a proceeding for decalring her marriage void on the ground of dessertion. She can still do it without any further loss of time.
Her previous husband may file a case for Bigamy and/or for restitution of conjungal rights.
