Re: Husband got 2nd marrige in U.S.A

Your facts are incomplete.

a) Has your marriage been dissolved?

b) Is your husband a Hindu?

c) was the marriage solemenized in India as per Hindu Law ?

d) Where did you file the maintenace case and what is the status?

If your husband has married without seeking dissolution of first marriage, he is guilty of "bigamy" and you can prosecute him under the Indian Penal Code.

Please supply complete information for better opinion.

No Charges.

If you want to spend less money, go to US embassy in India with the court order in your favor. File a complaint there and give them as much information about your husband.

If this doesnt work, file a criminal case for bigamy against him. But now you have to spend some money for all this stuff.

I am US based, if you want you can contact me through email

You can file a case for Bigamy against your husband. If divorce has not taken place his second marriage is illegal.
