I know about the new rule... but still I have doubts about it... can you figure out precise legal opinion about it... because even if marriage is not registered as of now... MM marriage will still be illegal. In which case Megha won't have any legal rights as a wife... I really feel sad about it.
Mamta , I asked my sister who is lawyer by profession and she said that Riddhima's mother and the preist are witnesses to the wedding. If Riddhima takes Mohan to court she has sufficient grounds to sue him for bigamy. Even if he claims he had prior consent from her to marry the second time, Megha(second wife in this case) was not made aware of the situation. Anyway Indian law has no provision like that so either ways MM's wedding would be considered void. When the court summons Mohan, they will put him under oath and he'll have to speak the truth.
Also it is highly difficult to implement this new ruling at all levels as there are many people who don't know about registering marriage. Also there is another clause which says that the marriage has to be registered within 3 months of marriage. Here Mohan is going to get married for the second time in a span of 48 hours.
