<h1>BJP Legislator's Election Victory Upheld Despite Polygamous Marriage Challenge After Honest Disclosure</h1> The High Court dismissed a petition seeking to void a BJP legislator's 2024 election victory based on his polygamous status. The tribal community member had disclosed both spouses in his election affidavit, including their financial details. A social activist challenged this, arguing the second marriage violated Hindu Marriage Act and constituted false declaration. The court ruled that honest disclosure of marital status doesn't violate election rules, noting polygamy is permitted in the candidate's tribal community customs. The bench emphasized that voluntary truthful disclosure cannot be grounds for challenging elections, and candidates shouldn't be barred from contesting due to culturally permitted practices.
