no in the eyes of the law it is not valid.

Adam, even I'm not a Hindu and not familiar with their marriage laws, but as far as I've understood from this forum, the Arushi-Shakti marriage was never legal/valid in the first place..... therefore, there's no question about it being valid now. 😊

Definitely Valid..If previous wife doesn't give objection then the second marriage is valid from every angles. Creatives just made a mess with breaking that marriage in the middle..

only in muslim religion not in hindu

Hmmmm....that is the biggest question?? Is Shaktia's and Aarushi's wedding still valid?? Well to be totally honest she did take the full saat phere n then after a few weeks just dumped him after much realisation. Krishna in today's episode did refer to her as Aarushi as his wife along with Kesar. So I guess the marriage does still stand. I too don't know much about hindu marraige law but I really think CV's need to clear this mess up once n for all.

Indian Bigamy laws. I have gone through the laws and these are the following important points:

Please take a look. It is a great source of information to have and in addition it helps us to understand the consequences of the serial:

Bigamy i.e. second marriage during the lifetime of a first spouse is illegal in India. Second marriage and the relationship arising out of it do not have any validity. Section 5 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, clearly states that a marriage could be valid only if neither of the party has a living spouse at the time of marriage. Section 11 of the Act declares second marriage to be null and void and she is not addressed as the man's wife ,but the second woman.

A person commits bigamy when he/she:

• has a husband or wife living,
• marries in any case in which such marriage is void,
• By reason of its taking place during the life of such husband or wife.

Thus, bigamy is an offence only if the first husband or wife is alive. Even if second marriage is performed with the consent of first spouse, it is an offence. In case of a divorce dissolving a valid marriage, the parties obtaining such dissolution can remarry.

However, bigamy shall not apply if:

• the first husband or wife is dead, or
• the first marriage has been declared void by the Court of competent jurisdiction, or
• the first marriage has been dissolved by divorce, or
• the first spouse has been absent or not heard of continually for a space of seven years. The party marrying must inform the person with whom he or she marries of this fact.

The law is very clear on second marriage. Given the case, the laws are very dicey for the second women and she is not much protected by law. The second woman is not entitled to any share in husband's property. The children of the second woman, however, are entitled to get a share in their father's self-acquired property. The second woman can claim interim maintenance from her husband.

In Rajesh Bai v. Shantabai, it was held that a woman whose marriage is void because of the existence of another wife is entitled to maintenance under section 25 of the Act.

Interim maintenance under Section 20 is also allowed.

The children from the second wife are entitled to share in their father's self –acquired property.

Complaint under the Act

Anyone who has witnessed the illegal act can file a case of bigamy either in court or at the police station under section 494/495 of the Indian Penal Code.

A petition for declaring the second marriage as void can be filed by the parties of second marriage and not the first spouse.

Complaint for cheating can be filed under section 415 of IPC in case the person hides the fact of first marriage.

Punishment under the Act

Bigamy is a non-cognizable offence. It is bail able and compoundable with the permission of court if the offence is committed under section 494 of the IPC. The punishment for bigamy is imprisonment, which may extend till 7 years or fine or both. In case the person charged of bigamy has performed the second marriage by hiding the fact of first marriage, then he shall be punished with imprisonment of up to 10 years or fine or both. Such offence under section 495 is not compoundable.
