If the marriage was done legally (Mohan and Meera) wouldn't they have records of it ! So how could he proceed with another marriage ?And if the wedding was done religiously and in front of society , where is the acknowledgment?I'm not saying Sultan's dad leaving him makes him illegitimate , but isn't illegitimate kids the ones who were born out of wedlock? The one who society doesn't acknowledge. So Mohan betrayed meera along with his witnesses and never looked back. No one knew anything about it.If the wedding of Mohan and Meera is true then the wedding of Mohan and Radha is true too.Radha didn't know of his other relationship, in front of the world RK is the son of MK and Radha. So at the end of the day, illegitimate is Sultan not RK
hi..
i think according to old laws a marriage that happened with all the rites is valid. ( Don't know if my undestanding is wrong, but i have heard an official at the passport office saying that if you cannot provide the marriage certificate, the marriage photograph of you with your husband is sufficient proof to show you are his spouse. this was something that happened a few years back, now i think the rules have changed and like birth and death needing to be registered marriages too need to be registered legally... this too i know coz my friend whose marriage was solemnised in a church 7 years back registered it recently once the rule came into existance. ) in the past marrriage with signing the document in the register of the temple or church was considered legal. COnsidering that MK and Meera was married long back in the past, the temple marriage is supposed to be legal. the proof that MK did marry Meera is there with the photograph, and radhaji herself says she knew of it from the servants and may be from MK himself.
A second marriage accordng to indian laws is a bigamy and not legal, the children from a second marriage is entitled to the father's earnings but is illegitimate considering that the second marriage, even if it happened with all the guests present, is illegal.
please check these links to realise that how the second marriage is illegal
