Thanks for reminding me of that Nutan I had completely forgotten about that.

While this is just a show and we know that they make up their own laws part of the reason for these forums is so we can discuss these. It's part of the fun trying to figure out how the CV's will handle all of these issues and how much liberties/"artist license" they will take.

just wanted to add this as there seems to be a genuine debate on this ...got it confirmed from a practising lawyer friend in Delhi:

According to law,

if husband or wife goes missing for more than 7 yrs then either party can file for divorce as the missing person is presumed dead.

There is no concept of automatic annullment of marriage here. The husband/wife will still have to file for a divorce otherwise the first marriage stands legal.

Scenario 2- If a presumed dead person comes back , then also the first marriage is legal until and unless divorce is filed by either parties.

Scenario 3- if either party marries while the spouse is missing/presumed dead, then also the first marriage is valid until there is a divorce or the death is certified.

Scenario 4- If a terminally ill patient gets his/her spouse married to another person while patient is still alive, then the second marriage is not legal, as for second marriage to be considered legal, at the time of second marriage, the first husband/wife should be dead

so the only way the second marriage becomes legal is when divorce is filed and got with the earlier spouse...

Hope these inputs help in a fruitful debate, if anyone is interested to think about this.
