1)your father never married your aunt

2) no case of bigamy is made out . For prosecution for bigamy one must show first of all that at the time of the second marriage, there was first valid subsisting marriage; where proof of either marriage is unsatisfactory, there ought to be no conviction.

3) Only the person aggrieved can complain in case of bigamy. your mother can file complaint of bigamy

4) your uncle can file case of bigamy against your father

Shall we file bigamy case on my father and aunt?. According to law , Do children can file bigamy case on parents/father?.

1. If children can't file bigamy case on parents, then who can file?

The children cannot file bigamy case because they are not the directly affected party to this offence. Only the first wife can file bigamy case against her husband

2. Who is aggrieved person here since its done with my mother consent and she is silent?.

Your mother is the aggrieved person hence only she can vent out her grievances and seek relief and remedy through both civil and criminal laws. You cannot force if she chooses to remain silent about it.

3. My mother biological father(my grand father died 10years back). And my mother has one elder brother , can he file bigamy case on my parents?. He supports us.

No. Even he cannot file any such case because he is not an aggrieved person.

HOWEVER,. this offense is attracted only when the second marriage was conducted legally so as to give it a legally accepted marriage status. If not, there is no second marriage to begin with and so no second wife and so, no bigamy.

You cannot take any legal action against your father for this act.

If you re unmarried then you can claim maintenance amount from him till the time you are getting married to someone.
