Pls advice me that if the minor girl complains about my husband he can be punished? if yes how can we save him. as that girl made her relation to get money and financial benefits with my husband. as i ask him for divorce he felt guilt and don't want to leave me and my kids. he wanted to stop his relation with that girl but he is not saying anything to us but afraid of something.i guess might complaint that girl make for him. or engagement he did with her in presence few neighbours and her family members. they are from backward and lower middle class people. hence might do anything. Pls guide me to save my husband from this issue. to punish him our personal matter. but i don't agree if someone else punish him. its his great mistake but as i have young kids i also have to look after them. she will be of 18 in Aug and after that she may claim and prove living relation with him if she have any proof . pls guide me and show some path . can photographs are used as evidence? she have their engagement photos as well. i don't know my husband have or not. but ass he is married and she is minor their. engagement is not void.

1. Marriage with a minor boy or a minor girl is void in the eyes of law. However there is no time limit described for engagement.
2. If the minor girl claims of having intercourse [be it with her will or without] and she files a case then the person so indulged in such activity shall be charged for "Rape" under IPC
3. The marriage with another woman who knows the man to be married before such marriage is treated as a second wife or so to say a "concubine"
4. Your husband can also be charged under relevant sections of the POCSO Act
5. Your husband can also be blackmailed by such minor girl if she feels to prosecute him under sections 420 and 495 IPC.
The best way to safe guard your husband is to stop letting him meet this female and restrict communications. Also, if possible make evidences like phone call recordings where he says he is married and it was all by force to which as you say the female would want him and would press him to stay shall always be beneficial.
Thanks.
