youtuberarmaan malik questioned in multiple marriage allegations involving his spouses
In a surprising turn of events, Indian singer and YouTuber Armaan Malik finds himself embroiled in a legal battle over his multiple marriages.
According to reports, Armaan, who is known as Sandip Jangda, tied the knot with Payal Malik in 2011 and Kritika Malik in 2018, without formally ending his first marriage. This practice is against the principles of monogamy mandated by the Hindu Marriage Act (HMA) of 1955, which prohibits bigamy and recognizes only one valid marriage at a time.
The Malik family, known for their online content creation, has been summoned by a Patiala district court following a petition alleging that Armaan has not just two but four marriages. This, if proven, would violate the HMA's prohibition of multiple simultaneous marriages for Hindus.
The petition also accuses Armaan and Payal of hurting religious sentiments due to a controversial Instagram video where Payal dressed as the Hindu goddess Kali. This action reportedly caused public outrage, leading the couple to visit Kali temples and Payal to perform a seven-day religious penance involving temple cleaning and rituals.
Armaan has clarified that he is still a Hindu, contrary to speculations that he changed his religion to marry Kritika. He has also stated that marriage feels like a rebirth for him. However, no information has been provided about any potential legal consequences Armaan might face due to his polygamy.
The case is now under judicial review with pending hearings to determine the facts and legal consequences. It serves as a reminder that multiple marriages under the Hindu Marriage Act are unlawful and can lead to serious legal repercussions.
