Husband having done second marriage despite stay on divorce decree by high court

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

In the facts stated by you, there may be three legal consequences:

• Firstly, the second marriage of your husband may be invalid under law.
• Secondly, it may amount to contempt of court, if he wilfully disobeyed the court orders.
• Thirdly, it may be an offence under Section 494 of the IPC (Marrying again during lifetime of husband or wife).
