Wife Remarries Without Divorce: MP Man Seeks Justice
A man from Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, has approached the SP after his wife allegedly remarried without a divorce and her family issued threats.
A shocking case of alleged bigamy and fraud has come to light from the Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh, where a devastated husband has approached the Superintendent of Police (SP) after claiming his wife entered into a second marriage while still legally wed to him.
The Beginning of a Broken Home
Sanjay Patel, a resident of Deora village falling under the Mangawan police station jurisdiction, stated that his marriage took place on May 6, 2017. He wed the daughter of Kamta Prasad Patel through traditional Hindu rituals. For several years, the couple lived together and have two daughters, currently aged eight and six years old.
A Sudden Disappearance and a Shocking Discovery
The turmoil began approximately eight months ago when Sanjay's wife traveled to her maternal home in Gudwa village. What started as a visit soon turned into a mystery as all communication between the couple ceased. Sanjay reported that her phone became unreachable, leaving him in the dark about her wellbeing.
Upon investigating the silence, Patel made a startling discovery: his wife had allegedly entered into a court marriage with another man, all without obtaining a legal divorce from him.
Threats and Intimidation
Seeking to resolve the matter and bring his wife back, Sanjay visited his in-laws' residence. However, instead of a resolution, he claims he was met with hostility. According to his complaint, the family members of his wife intimidated him and issued death threats.
He alleges that the in-laws explicitly told him that their daughter would not return to him and warned him of severe consequences if he continued his attempts to bring her back home.
Police Inaction and Plea for Justice
The complainant expressed deep frustration with the local law enforcement. He stated that he had already submitted a written complaint to the Mangawan police station on October 18, 2026, but claimed that no significant or punitive action was taken by the authorities.
Driven by a lack of progress at the local level, Sanjay Patel has now petitioned the SP, requesting:
- The immediate registration of a First Information Report (FIR).
- Strict legal action against his wife and her family members for fraud and bigamy.
Concern for the Children
Beyond the legal battle over the marriage, the father has expressed profound concern and emotional distress regarding the future and wellbeing of his two young daughters, who are caught in the middle of this family collapse.
