Legal Position of Bigamy-Adultery Vs 498a Situation: Further explained

If u have taken enough precautions while getting into the 2nd innings, this may help you to get divorce and closure of 498a. Since the 1st will see the vanity in pursuing the cases(if u haven't left any ammunition for her to take up against bigamy- basically leaving proof of 2nd marriage for the 1st to use against you). The 1st could still try poking you with cases of adultery and bigamy but those don't have legal validity(as explained in http://bok498a.blogspot.com/2006/08/impossible-is-nothing-dont-let-your.html )

I would have been in your place but the 1st wife quickly realised that its waste of time not giving me divorce since I had made my 2nd inning plan public, and I got a mutual consented divorce the very next hearing(the divorce case had been dragging for 2+ years till then). The only differences between urs and mine might be that you are in US Iam here, plus the counter cases against them had put them in a tigh spot(they were trying to please me by facilitating a quick 'free' divorce, hoping that I compromised on the counter cases later- which I didnt).

I won't say that this strategy is fool-proof, it could well back fire if the girls family decides to rake up issues by...(let me not give spies in this group some direct ideas). You can see that this strategy is not a one-off thing, when you look at Telugu star Pawan Kalyan's unofficial second marriage, the 1st wife has been unable to hurt him using bigamy, etc.

The moral is that informed risks have a better probability to payback, but the risk takers should be ready to get their hands dirty if they are dragged into another round of court cases. In ur case u r in US, as u correctly gauged "There should be a reason for a Man to come back from US...don't you guyz think so--- "

"Sometimes" 2nd marriages can be more 'strategic' than 'needed/desired' :), even if one is in India. All the best, don't worry life is anyway a battle field, a couple of battles this way or that way shouldn't bother anyone - just do Karma, without seeking the fruits.
