In Muslim law, can a man marry another woman without divorcing his first wife, even if he tortures and threatens her?
Under Muslim law, a man can take a second wife, but if cruelty or threats are involved, the first wife can file under Section 85 of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita and seek divorce, maintenance, and protection. Second marriage does not become illegal, but he faces criminal and civil consequences for cruelty. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
