Under Indian law, polygamy is generally prohibited except for Muslims, who are permitted to have up to four wives. If your wife agrees to you marrying another woman, and you are not a Muslim, the court would likely not allow it.

My wife and I have been married for 10 years, and we have two wonderful children. Lately, we’ve been struggling to connect, and I’ve found solace in talking to an old friend. We talk daily on the phone and meet twice a month. She’s unable to marry due to a health condition. My wife has become very upset and is threatening to file a police complaint if I don’t stop this.

My husband and I married six years ago, defying our families’ wishes. My in-laws eventually accepted me, but their constant emotional abuse has become unbearable.

A family in India faced a complex situation after their parents passed away. The family comprised five siblings: three sisters and two brothers. The eldest sister, happily married, was followed by two other sisters, then two brothers. The youngest brother married in 2010. The eldest sister and the youngest brother were married, but the second sister was divorced within a year or two and returned home with her young daughter. The third sister and fourth brother remained unmarried. Their father had purchased land and built a home for the family in 1980. He passed away in 1999 without a will, and his wife followed in 2001, also without a will. During this period, the second sister had married and divorced. Until the Supreme Court’s new guidelines in 2015, both unmarried and divorced daughters and both brothers resided in their father’s home. However, after the guidelines, the youngest brother’s behavior towards his sisters and his niece became problematic.
