Bigamy is a crime in India (with some exceptions), although agreements such as the one arrived at by the trio prevent people from being punished for it.
In a bizzare incident and completely opposite to the Indian standards of marriage, difficult to accept by our society, an out-of-court agreement was made by a 28-year-old software engineer from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh and his two wives. He would be spending three days of a week with one woman and the next three with another one. For Sundays, he is free to be with either of the women.
The first wife filed a case before the family court in Gwalior for alimony. Advocate Harish Dewan, the counsellor appointed by the Gwalior Family Court to resolve the dispute amicably said that the man married a 26-year-old woman in May 2018.
According to the agreement that came about after a Gwalior family court, the software engineer will split his 1.5 lakh a month salary between his two wives. Apparently, the man has provided separate flats to each woman and has fathered children with both women.
