My elder son’s age is the same as my new wife’s. We got married after her brother-in-law, who held a grudge against her family, falsely accused us of having an affair. We were colleagues in network marketing, she was just one of many women I worked with. He publicly humiliated and even assaulted her, leading her to threaten suicide unless I married her. I felt trapped and agreed. My family disowned me, and I’ve been living with her for 7 years now. We have a daughter, but my first family constantly harasses me over property, even though I give them ₹8,000 monthly and 3 sacks of rice annually. My sons are 28 and 26, and my first wife refuses to divorce, likely due to the financial support I provide. I had shared my predicament with everyone before making this decision.

Your situation presents a complex legal issue, especially given the coercive circumstances surrounding your second marriage. Indian law does not explicitly address such situations. However, the validity of your second marriage could be challenged due to the lack of free consent. The harassment from your first family could be addressed legally, but you might face difficulty claiming marital property rights due to the circumstances of your second marriage.
