How can I collect evidence to file a bigamy case?
Dear Sir/Madam, I have filed cases under the Domestic Violence Act and for maintenance against my husband. However, I am facing difficulty in filing a bigamy case due to a lack of evidence. My husband married another woman before marrying me and kept her away from his workplace, where he is employed as a government teacher. I am the first wife, and I know the second wife’s name and address, but my advocate is asking for proper evidence. Please guide me on how to collect evidence and what type of proof is required for a bigamy case. Specifically: • What documents or proof can establish his second marriage? • How can I legally collect such evidence? • Who can act as witnesses in support of my case? Although my advocate has advised me to gather evidence, I am unsure about the correct process.
To prove bigamy, you need evidence of your husband’s second marriage being legally performed. Useful proof includes marriage photographs, wedding invitations, temple/church/marriage register entries, ration card, Aadhaar, voter ID showing spouse’s name, school records of children, or joint bank/insurance documents. Neighbours, relatives, priest, or photographer can be witnesses. You may also seek court directions to summon records or witnesses if direct evidence is difficult.
