In the present case, the court, drawing from its previous ruling in the Priya Bala case, concluded that the absence of evidence regarding the performance of "saptapadi" rendered the second marriage invalid. Consequently, it was determined that no offense of bigamy had been committed. The court reiterated the importance of adhering to traditional Hindu marriage customs, emphasizing that the essential ceremonies of "saptapadi" and "datta homa" are indispensable for the validity of such marriages. Without these ceremonies, a marriage cannot be considered legally valid.
