Marriage
1 year ago
My father got married to 3 wives,
First wife is my mother she is a Christian she got married in a temple and we have a record issued by the temple on the marriage.
Even though my mother was alive my father got married to a second lady, even she got married in a temple, she expired.
Again, my father got married to another lady and even she got married also in a temple and got 2 kids.
So totally my father got married to 3 wives.
My father has a property and all have filed for partition.
My father did the property in my mother’s name through a will and currently we the children of first wife are enjoying the property.
My questions
1.What are the legal documents to prove the validity of marriage?
2.The marriage performed in a temple can be considered as valid, as the marriage was not registered in the year 1974 ?
