MIt might fall under the ambit of Tort so a Civil suit might be maintainable for damages if correct evidence can be shown that it was intentional and done with malicious intent. But as OP stated it was a man who lied about his marital status, it will be difficult to prove that.MLawyer here.
Just stating what acts he did can be considered a crime in India.
1. If he lied about his marriage and promised you that he would marry you and on that promise itself, you gave your consent for a sexual relationship with him. It comes under Rape.
2. If he lied about his marriage and married you in any way i.e. following any customs or registration, can booked for Bigamy.
Otherwise from what you have stated, it’s not a crime. The only thing you can do is inform his wife and let her know if she wants to do anything.
MTalk with her and sort this out. Besides I don’t think she will get you beaten by her friends.First – She will be reluctant to share this with her friends
Second – What she is saying is that she will get you beaten up is illegal and will land her and her friends in trouble.
So just try to talk her out of it.
But I am not sure if she will tell your parents or not.
MThere have been some cases where courts have denied maintenance in cases of proved adultery. But I don’t think there is any case which separates assets before and after marriage.MYou can make certain types of prenups in India too.
Saw a podcast on YouTube regarding it too.But anything contrary to the law will be void.
Like you can not make an agreement that your wife will not ask for maintenance.
MThe best is if the client writes it. That way it is ensured that all the essential information and facts are there and not missed.A lawyer will then vet it in legal language, format it and file it in court.
