I have seen a real incident of this kind very recently in my family, a cousin of mine found out that her husband indeed had a daughter from his fling and was also supporting the second family. She came to know about the truth after 20 years of marriage. She was broken and shell shocked, but couldn't do anything bcoz her three children were dependent on the father. When the incident was brought infront the family, some of the elders were saying that she should not leave the marriage bcoz of the kids and also the husband is taking good care of her. In India these are very common, very rare cases that women take a stance and ask for divorce. Indian laws are also not too favourable to women and the biggest reason to stick on in the marriage is social stigma and financial dependency.
I really feel very bad when I think of my cousin
