How can I check marriage records if my husband married again?

My husband married someone else without divorcing me. Our marriage took place in another state and was not registered. The process for the second marriage was a court marriage. The girl is from Mumbai, and the boy is from Navi Mumbai. Can I check the marriage records, and what other procedures do I need to follow?

You can check court marriage records by inquiring at the marriage registrar’s office in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai. You can also request official records through RTI (Right to Information) or with the help of a lawyer, as court marriages are officially registered. If your husband married again without divorcing you, you can file a case for bigamy under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). It is best to consult an experienced lawyer to take legal action and protect your rights.

You can check marriage records in the court or the local marriage registrar’s office. If your husband married someone else without divorcing you, it could be considered bigamy, which is illegal. You can file for divorce based on his second marriage and also report him for bigamy under the BNS law. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the bet course of action.
