A man governed by the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 solemnises a second marriage while his valid first marriage subsists and his first wife is living. Considering sections 5(i) and 11, what legally wedded wife status does the second marriage confer on the second woman?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
A second Hindu marriage solemnised while a valid first marriage subsists violates section 5(i) and is void under section 11. Ceremonies or social approval do not confer legally wedded wife status through that void marriage. The question does not determine every separate maintenance remedy.
