Bigamy is a crime for both men and women. It is punishable under Section 494 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC), which states that: Whoever, having a husband or wife living, marries in any case in which such marriage is void by reason of its taking place during the lifetime of such husband or wife, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine.
