What can I do about dowry and hidden marriage?

Sir, I got married in March 2015. After the wedding, frequent disputes began. Several panchayats were held, and once my wife's family physically assaulted me. She has been living with her parents for 8 years now. We have a child, and I recently discovered she was already married earlier, which she hid. For the past 3 years, cases of dowry, domestic violence, and maintenance are ongoing in court. Please help, I am under great stress.

Since your wife hid her first marriage and filed false cases, you may file for divorce on grounds of fraud and cruelty. You can also seek legal protection against harassment. Consult a good family lawyer immediately to fight the dowry, maintenance, and assault cases, and file a complaint for the physical attack.
