Kalakuntla Prathyusha, BBA LLB, Symbiosis Law school, Hyderabad, Symbiosis International University

ABSTRACT

This article primarily addresses the Second Wife under Hindu Law, who has several challenges in living a good life and, in particular, in raising the children born of such empty marriages. Such a lady is not qualified to maintain; if a woman is not self-sufficient, how will she live her life and meet her own needs? In this journal article, I explored religious union and whether a second marriage is a lawful marriage, as well as the legal rights that a second wife can use and sue a guy who has cheated on her. This article discusses Bigamy in length, including case laws and extraordinary characteristics. This article also discusses rights and maintenance, on which politicians should enact legislation so that victims of such invalid marriage can heal and prosper.
