First wife’s legal options after husband’s fraudulent second marriage?
A Hindu woman was legally married to Ramesh, who had two wives. The first wife is childless and neglected. Ramesh fraudulently married a second wife, had two sons, and died intestate in 2018. The second wife is fraudulently claiming widow pension, has her and her sons’ names on revenue records, and claims property share. What legal options does the first wife have? Can she adopt her brother’s 22-year-old son? Can the second marriage be declared void after Ramesh’s death? Should the first wife get a legal heir certificate or succession certificate?
First wife can file suit to cancel second marriage as void if proved fraudulent. She can seek legal heir or succession certificate for property rights. Adoption of brother’s son may help continue family lineage. Court can order deletion of second wife and sons’ names from records if fraud is proved.
