1. File a police complaint for bigamy which you should have done long back.
2. He will be punished with jail term for a maximum period of 10 years for committing the above offence of marrying you by concealing the fact that he was already married to another lady..
3. Actually you should have filed a petition praying for annulment of your marriage since your marriage is void at law.
4. File a maintenance petition against him claiming maintenance for you and your children.
Hi, you can file a petition for divorce on the ground of adultery and you can also file a complaint in the jurisdictional court for bigamy.
2. You can file a petition under section 125 of the Cr.P.C for maintenance.
1. Since you have filed DVC pursue the case to get maintenance fast.
2. You can file case u/s 498A IPC as well.
3.if he has remarried another lady even beofre divorce from you then you can file case of bigamy u/s 494 IPC as well.
First of all you should not have continued the marriage with him when you came to know that he was already married and his wife is living.
Because your marriage with him is null and void.
You may not be entitled to any benefits that are available to legally married wife.
However at this stage you can claim maintenance for your children born through him.
In my opinion a DV case against him also may not be maintainable.
However you can consult a local lawyer and lodge a complaint with local police for filing bigamy case against him.
