A commits the offence of marrying again during a living spouse’s lifetime under BNS section 82(1), and conceals the former marriage from the person with whom the subsequent marriage is contracted. Which subsection specifically punishes that concealed-marriage form?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

"Section 82(2)" punishes a person who commits the section 82(1) offence while concealing the former marriage from the person with whom the subsequent marriage is contracted, with imprisonment up to ten years and fine. "Section 82(1) alone, without the concealment enhancement" ignores this aggravated form, "Section 83" concerns a marriage ceremony fraudulently gone through without lawful marriage, and "Section 84" concerns enticing or detaining a married woman.
