Re: Marriage without registration under hindu law
As revealed by you, the guy married a bihar girl 25 years back and his marriage with him still subsists. Strictly speaking legally, your sisters marriage with the guy is invalid inthe eyes of law. However, he can be noosed on the basis of criminal law. For further clarifications you can contact me. My email add. is [email protected]. Regards, D.M. Bhalla, Advocate
