A 40-year-old man was arrested along with his minor bride for allegedly solemnising his marriage for the third time at Milak town in Rampur, police said on Monday.
The couple was picked up by a contingent of police on Sunday from a wedding mandap, after a woman claiming to be the second wife of the accused, Prem Kumar, registered a case against him, SP Sadhna Goswami said.
Laxmi approached the police along with her three-year-old son and stated that she had married the accused in 2009. The complainant said that the accused tortured her for dowry and had killed his first wife for the same reason, Goswami added.
Laxmi alleged that the accused possessed fake divorce papers and maintained that she was his legal wife. The accused and his relatives have been nabbed, police said.
