A. Dear Client,
Desertion is one of the grounds of divorce under Section 13 (1) (i-b) of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955. Desertion means forsaking or abandoning one spouse by the other without reasonable cause and against the wish of the other for more than two years.

A. Dear Client,
In case your wife sought a decree of divorce and file against you before the Court, you may make a prayer before the Court for waiving of alimony or lump sump amount towards maintenance citing the investment made in the name of your wife who is now the sole owner of the said hefty investment. Reach out to an Advocate for the necessary guidance and steps needed to save you from payment of the hefty amount of alimony if demanded by your wife.

A. Dear client,
The Indian Penal Code section 494 states that if a person commits second marriage without divorce or a crime similar to its section, then they can be imprisoned for seven years or more, depending on the crime. A fine is also charged in some cases, or both are charged together, which depends on crime severity.
NOC by wife for second marriage of husband is not recognized under law. It is of no use. A case can be filed even after NOC.
