Ludhiana: The police have booked a man for solemnizing second marriage without divorcing his first wife. Sunny, 28, also hid his married status from his second wife. The matter came to light when she found a picture of the couple.
Baby, 25, of Gopal Nagar said in her police complaint, “I had tied the knot with Sunny, a resident of Doraha who works as a labourer, on April 27. Soon thereafter, he started fighting with me. Sunny had not told me or my family that it was his second marriage. On September 11, when I was tidying up an almirah, I found a picture of Sunny with another woman. She was dressed like a bride. When I asked Sunny about it, he thrashed me and snatched the picture.”
Later, Baby found out that Sunny had earlier married a woman named Sonia. They were not divorced, but lived separately.
Baby then approached the police.
Haibowal police station ASI Narinder Singh said, “Sunny had strained relations with his first wife due to which they parted ways. A case has been registered under sections 420 (cheating), 494 (marrying again during lifetime of husband or wife) and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the IPC. The accused is yet to be arrested.”
