The Rajasthan High Court recently said that the offence of bigamy would not arise if a married person lives with another partner without solemnising any second marriage with such a partner. The high court bench of Justice Kuldeep Mathur observed while dealing with a case where a married man was accused of bigamy by his wife as he was living with another woman. However, the judge pointed out that the offence punishable under Section 494 (offence of marrying again during the lifetime of husband or wife/ bigamy) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) would not arise unless a second marriage has been performed while a first marriage is still in force.
