5th Jul’2022 Second As per instructions to bring my findings based on Acts
and Provisions.
I went through Hindu Marriage Act, 1957 and prepared
my findigs
6th Jul’2022 Third Findings after research based on Acts applicable:
 As per Hindu Marriage Act 1957, any male or
female cannot marry second time without
divorce. The conditions necessary to recognize
marriage as valid are discussed in Section 5 of the
Hindu Marriage Act
 It is an offence under the Indian penal code ,
under section 494 to get married while one has
got a spouse living. No matter even if the spouse
agrees for that.
 It’s a punishable offence.
 Second marriage during subsistence of earlier
marriage is null and void.
 Home/bunglow was registered on both the names,
so there half share can be filed to divide and give
her share.
The second wife does not have the right to claim any
share in the property of the husband where her title is not

 there.
7th Jul’2022 Fourth Senior Advocate asked to have research work based on
Case laws which will help to support the arguments
8th Jul’2022 Fifth Research started on different recommended websites
(List attached in Annexure)
9th Jul’2022 Sixth Week off
10th Jul’2022 Seventh Week Off
WEEK 4 11th Jul’2022 First Research continued
12th Jul’2022 Second Shared Case laws which are supportive of our client
perspective (List attached in Annexure)
Points shared after research:
 Second marriage, during the persistence of the
first Marriage is illegal in India and the
relationship arising from the same does not have
any validity. Even though the law is very clear on
this point , ‘second marriage’ is a common
practice in Indian Society .As a result of the
aforementioned contrast between the law and
social practice, second wives in India have little
protection under the law.
 The second wife is entitled to the right of
maintenance under Section 125 when there is
sufficient evidence to prove that she was unaware
of her husband's previous wedding and the
second wedding was performed in accordance
with the laws
 Laws related to the property rights of the first and
second wives and their progeny are highly
nuanced and require the judge to invoke multiple
Government Acts to validate a justifiable verdict.
There are few cases where passing a judgement

12

Public
 may potentially get difficult.
 When the husband remarries without ending the
previous marriage and the wife is still alive, the
first wife and her children from the marriage can
claim rights over his property. After the demise
of the patriarch, the property will get equally
divided among the first wife, her children, the
second wife’s children, and in some special cases,
the second wife. However, there is uncertainty
surrounding the rights of the second wife in this
scenario.
 In the case of Rajesh Bai v Shantabai, Court had
held that a woman whose marriage is void
because of the existence of another wife is
entitled to maintenance under the section. The
second wife can claim interim maintenance under
section 20 of the Hindu Adoption and
Maintenance Act, 1956 (HAMA)
 In the case of Kulwant Kaur alias Preeti V prem
Nath, it was also said ‘no sane lady would
surrender herself unless she treats her male
companion as her husband. Whether the marriage
is proved or not that is the point to be determined
by the trial court itself, but keeping in view of the
fact that the petitioner cohabited with the
respondent , interim maintenance under section
20 of HAMA is allowed to her
 The Bombay HC in Mani Bai v Mukundrao,
holding that under section 18 of HAMA , the
second wife can also a separate residence and
maintenance under this Act

13

Public
  A co-owner is entitled to three fundamental
ownership rights. If his share of the property is
clearly stated in the deed, he/she has the right to
possession, use, and dispose of his/her share of
the property. As a result, if a co-owner is
deprived of their property, they have the right to
reclaim it.
13th Jul’2022 Third Senior Advocate asked to do research on defendant side,
that will help us to be ready for arguments in court.
14th Jul’2022 Fourth Research Started for supportive case laws from
defendant side
15th Jul’2022 Fifth Shared the list of Case laws with Senior Advocate to

whenever we as an advocate has to be ready with
