Bigamy described under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 deals with which one of the following?

Section 17 of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 makes void any marriage between two Hindus if either party had a living husband or wife at the date of the marriage, and applies IPC sections 494 and 495. Because it covers a man with a living wife and a woman with a living husband, bigamy under the Act deals with "Polygamy and polyandry both", not only one of them.

Current law: For conduct governed by the new criminal code from 1 July 2024, BNS section 82 provides the marrying-again offence and its concealment variant. Earlier offences remain subject to the repeal savings. The Hindu Marriage Act’s monogamy condition continues; a criminal conviction also requires proof of the legally necessary marriage ingredients.
