My wife accused me of bigamy without any proof. The police, at her request, found a marriage receipt and certificate from a temple, claiming it was from my supposed second marriage. However, neither the receipt nor the certificate had my signature or my parents’ signatures. The police recorded statements from 16 people and filed a chargesheet. Will the court accept this evidence against me? Please advise.

Under Indian law, the evidence presented is likely insufficient to prove bigamy. The absence of your signature and your parents’ signatures on the temple receipt and certificate raises serious doubts about the validity of the purported second marriage. The court will scrutinize the evidence carefully and consider the testimony of the 16 witnesses before reaching a decision.
