Bigamy occurs when a person contracts a second marriage while the first marriage is still legally subsisting and the spouse is alive. Under Section 494 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), such a marriage is void and punishable if the first marriage has not been dissolved by divorce or annulment.
A person convicted of bigamy under Section 494 IPC can face imprisonment of up to seven years and a fine. The offence is generally non-cognizable and bailable, and it is usually tried by a Magistrate of the First Class.
Section 495 IPC deals with a more serious form of bigamy. It applies when a person conceals the fact of their existing marriage from the person they are marrying again. In such cases, the punishment can extend to ten years of imprisonment and a fine.
To establish the offence of bigamy, courts generally require proof of the following elements:
No. The validity of marriage does not depend solely on registration. Courts examine whether the marriage was solemnized according to valid customs or ceremonies. Even an unregistered marriage may still be considered valid for the purpose of proving bigamy.
Under Section 198 CrPC, complaints for offences relating to marriage can generally be filed only by the aggrieved spouse. In certain circumstances, close relatives of the spouse may also file a complaint with the permission of the court.
Judicial decisions have clarified that the offence of bigamy primarily applies to the spouse who contracts the second marriage. Family members or relatives cannot ordinarily be prosecuted unless their independent criminal involvement is specifically established.
Yes. Courts have repeatedly emphasized that bigamy is a serious offence affecting the institution of marriage, as it undermines marital stability and may cause injustice to the first spouse.
Courts require clear proof that the second marriage was actually performed according to valid ceremonies or customs. Mere cohabitation or relationship is not sufficient to establish the offence of bigamy unless the essential marriage ceremonies are proved.
Bigamy offences under Section 494 IPC are generally compoundable with the permission of the court by the spouse of the accused. Courts may allow settlement depending on the facts and circumstances of the case.
While personal laws regulate marriage, the Indian Penal Code is a general criminal law. If the legal ingredients of Section 494 IPC are satisfied, prosecution for bigamy may be initiated irrespective of community, subject to applicable personal law exceptions.

On his birthday 14 May 2021, Member of Parliament Sri Kanumuri Raghurama Krishnam Raju was arrested from his home at Hyderabad by the AP CID Police and brought to CID office at Guntur. On the intervening night between 14th and 15th May 2021, he was subjected to the 3rd degree police torcher by the AP CID Police on the instruction of their Higher up who may be boot-licking their political masters. Then a slew of legal actions were put to motion…

The Police officials who tried to act smart and favor their pay-master Chief Minister of AP by not implementing the Order of High Court, got served with Contempt of Court notices. The High Court also showcased the shenanigans of the Superintendent of the Government General Hospital, Guntur who is also the wife of the head of the ruling party’s IT Cell also, who did not finish the examination of accused in time and made the High Court wait until 6PM, finally issuing a notice why action should not be taken under the provisions of Contempt of Court Act.
The AAG got rap on his butt from Justice Lalitha Kanneganti by saying that he could be referred to Bar Council for taking appropriate action, which may involve immediate suspension from Bar Association which will render him a non-advocate during suspension period and eventually getting kicked out of the Legal profession itself, all for the chamchagiri he intended to do to the Chief Minister of AP.
Hilarious stuff!!
On 21 May 2021,
Supreme Court granted bail with usual conditions.
In our view, considering the injuries as reported by the Medical Board of the Army Hospital, we can prima facie form an opinion that the appellant may have been ill-treated while in police custody. Further, we are of the opinion that the charges against the appellant are not such in which custodial interrogation would be required as all the statements made by the appellant are on record and the FIR has been lodged only after a detailed enquiry by the State CID. Considering the totality of the circumstances and also the health position of the appellant, specially that the appellant has undergone heart bypass surgery in December 2020, which is not denied by the respondent and has also been noted in the report of the Medical Board of the Army Hospital, we deem it just and proper that the appellant be enlarged on bail
