A.His second marriage is null and void. But he can get a declaration towards the same. Will that satisfy her? Further, his first wife should have made complaint (private complaint) immediately after coming to know of the second marriage. She cannot blackmail.

A.Any marriage which has not been performed as per law is not valid in the eyes of Law. If the gentleman is not having any more relation and maintaining and performing all his present matrimonial obligations. Then it's fine and better to settle the matter within family and amicably and to avoid litigations otherwise many complications may arise.
