<h1>Marrying Again While Spouse Lives Risks 7-Year Jail Under Section 82; Concealment Raises Penalty to 10 Years.</h1> Section 82 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, addresses the offense of marrying again during the lifetime of a spouse. It stipulates that anyone who marries while their spouse is still alive, rendering the marriage void, can face up to seven years of imprisonment and a fine. Exceptions include cases where the previous marriage is declared void by a court or if the spouse has been absent and unheard of for seven years, provided the new partner is informed. Concealing a previous marriage from a new spouse increases the penalty to a maximum of ten years of imprisonment and a fine.
