Stamp Paper Divorce Agreement, Cheating & Bigamy
I'm frm Anand Dist,Gujarat.I married with a girl,registered marriage under Bombay.M.Act in Aug-07.After 1 month she opened mouth that she's already married previously in Apr-06.Due to conflicts she & that guy did a STAMP PAPER AGREEMENT OF DIVORCE on Rs 100/- signed by Sub-registrar in Nov-06(Only aftr 8 mnth).(Not taken a court�s decree)I compromised that situation & forgave her.But she did the same to me,deserted me and left my house in Nov-07.After too much try to reconcile frm my side,I agreed to divorce her.(Her uncle had also humiliated & threw away us from their house when we went to bring her back & threaten us too).At last She & I(by force)did same type of AGREEMENT of Divorce in Feb-08.My questions are as under:
(1)What should I do now?(2)What can I do with her?(3)Can I still file RCR to bring her back evenif I've signed Papers for Divorce?Can I still ask the court to rejoin?(4)Can I file for cheating case as per IPC 495?(5)Can I file for nullifying my marriage as she has not taken court decree before my marriage?How much time(approx)nullifying takes?After 1 year you can't file for nullity-Is it So?
(6)Can anyone remarry after signing such papers?(7)She stated UNMARRIED in my registration form.Howmuch important is it?

if she has not taken divorce in the court then SHE CAN NOT MARRY YOU. and ur marriage is not a marriage in the eye of law. neither u can force her to come to you nor u can divorce her becos she was never ur wife.
u can file complaint for cheating you etc
Re: Stamp Paper Divorce Agreement, Cheating & Bigamy
From the facts it seems that her previous marriage was existing and not legally dissolved and therefore your second marriage is not legal infact not existing.you can file a complaint of cheating and fraud. As there was no marriage between you both question of divorce doesnot arise.

Her previous marriage is still subsisting. So no question of divirce from your side.
File complaint under sections 494 & 495 IPC.
Also file a civil case under torts for harassment.
