Under Sec 494 of the IPC, "Whoever, having a husband or wife living, marries in any case in which such marriage is void because of its taking place during the life of such husband or wife, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine."
Initial investigation done by Police stated Police officials reveal that all three of them, the twin sisters and the groom have been living together since childhood. “The girls were living with their mother after their father passed away a few days ago. During this time, Atul came close to the two young women. The two sisters reportedly decided to wed the same man as they couldn't imagine parting ways after marriage,” said Solapur police officials.
Police say further investigation and questioning are underway.
