My first marriage was in a temple, and I verbally divorced my husband in front of my parents. Then, I remarried. Now, my second husband is seeking to annul our marriage because he claims I wasn’t properly divorced from my first husband. We were together for a year. What are my rights regarding this situation?

Under Indian law, a verbal divorce in front of parents is not legally recognized. Your first marriage is likely still valid, which may impact the validity of your second marriage. You should consult a lawyer to understand your rights and options in this situation.
