Please kindly reply the question.
with regards,
Answer Hi sks,
If the marriage is of a person other than muslim without taking legal divorce from first wife naturally the second marriage is null and void in law. He can even be booked for offence of Bigamy under IPC. If no will had been made by the person the estate will go to his first wife and children.
