Muslim man entering into second marriage is cruelty to first wife: Madras High Court
Although the husband, a Muslim, is permitted to enter into a second marriage, the Court held that he must still bear the consequences of this act by compensating his first wife.
The Madras High Court recently said that a Muslim man taking a second wife amounts to cruelty to his first wife and directed the man to pay ₹5 lakh as compensation to her.
