1) if your wife was already married at time of your marriage your marriage is null and void . your wife could not remarry during subsistence of earlier marriage .

2) if your in laws had suppressed facts about her mental condition at time of marriage you could also apply for annulment of marriage during first year of marriage on account of fraud . it cant be done now as 3 years have passed since your marriage

3) you cant be forced to have sex with your wife who is already married to some other person

4) in the event any false case is filed by your wife like 498A obtain Anticpiatory bail and contest it on merits

1) since your wife was already married at time of your marriage in 2011 her second marriage to you is illegal and you cant be forced to stay with her .

2) you have already filed case for declaration that your marriage is null and void

3) you should obtain copy of your wife medical reports, record threats received and lodge police complaint against your wife of criminal intimidation if she threatens you

1. You are not bound to have sex with your wife. Ignore the advice of women police. Nobody can force you to have sex with her. It is beyond the authority of police to ask a husband to have sex with his wife.

2. If you wife was the legally wedded wife of some one else at the time of your marriage to her, then your marriage to your wife is illegal. Hindu law does not allow bigamous marriages. You can file a criminal case against your wife for suppressing from you the fact that she is already married to some one else. Furthermore, you can also file a suit for damages against her.

3. If your wife files a case for dowry harassment against you then immediately file for anticipatory bail and then contest it on merits.

1. Your suit for nullity of marriage is likely to be dismissed as you could not have filed this case after 3 years from the date of your marriage. It ought to have been filed within one year.

2. What lady police is suggesting you to do is totally absurd. Move to High Court and apply for protection through a Criminal Miscellaneous Petition.

Hi, your marriage with your wife is null and void as she her with you during the subsistence of first marriage is not valid as per law. A hindu can't perform second marriage during the subsistence of first marriage.

2. You already filled a petition before the court to declare that your marriage is void marriage so you need not necessary follow the instructions of police.

Dear Querist

my opinion on your queries are as under:

1. is it compulsory and legal binding to sleep and have sex and live with such

attacking mental lady (declared by doctors of my living city)

Opinion: It is not mandatory. Nobody can force to doing sex without his/her consent, if anyone doing this then you may file a complaint against that person. as you informed that the lady police is threatening to you then you may file a complaint against her before police authority or file a complaint before National Human Right Commission or state Human Right Commission.

2. If My Marriage is Illegal, then also it's compulsory and legal binding

to have sex and live with such attacking mental lady (declared by doctors of my city)

Opinion: No it is not mandatory.

as you informed that you already have filed a suit/petition for declaration this marriage as Null & Void, so no need to worry, fight your case on merit.

Your wife got divorce after her marriage and her marriage is hided by her parent then you can prosecute her parent for the offence of bigamy under section 107/494 of IPC. She is lunatic so she can not be prosecuted. you marriage is void ab initio. don't worry file a complaint before competent judicial magistrate and prosecute them. sleeping and having sex has no matter in your case. but you should collect all evidence of threats and other facts which tend to compel you to establish sexual relation with your wife. your case is strong and also you can get divorce on the first hearing of the case

Hello,

1) You can not be compelled to have sex with anyone against your will.The women police in no way is authorized even to suggest this to you.You can file a complaint against the erring police women.

2) As your wife was married at the time of marrying you and subsequently obtained a divorce your marriage to her is illegal and is not a marriage in the eye of the law.

3) As you have already filed a case before the Family Court to get the marriage declared null and void, wait for the verdict of the court.

4) While the case is pending in the court you are not obligated to maintain the marital relationship and especially in the light of her insanity.

Sex is not a mechanical process. It would be emotional and biological. Nobody can force you to have sex with your wife. It is beyond the authority of police to ask a husband to have sex with his wife. Sex has a huge significance in a relationship. If a spouse does not allow the partner to have sex for a long time, without sufficient reason, it amounts to mental cruelty, and a ground for getting a divorce.

Your marriage is void under the following ground.

1. Your wife had badly affected mental illness at the time of marriage

2. She is not legally divorced at the time of her second marriage

3. All this facts are not reveals to you at the time of marriage and it is suppressed her parents from you

4. All these amount to cruelty, good ground for divorce.

You can also file criminal and civil cases against your wife and her parents for damages and suppression of material facts and cheating.
