Re: my sister husband harassing my family members

you donot have any right to take any legal recourse but it is your sister who can take legal recourse.Firstly lodge complaint with police complaining commission of bigamy by you sister's husband and second wife and also ask for police protection.Your sister may also ask for divorce and alimony.

Re: my sister husband harassing my family members

as such you do not have any right ..

take care of your sister! give her and the child all protection and then proceed..

ask your sister... if she is willing to prefer a criminal complaint... of second marriage and threat to kill .. etc

if she prefers .. get the marriage nullified in court!

get maintenance etc... for the child and your sister legally.
