Abstract/Summary
The existence of the Muslim Code of Personal Law has brought several changes in the legal system. One such change is that Muslims are now free to commit bigamy, without incurring any criminal liability. This change has caused some controversy over the well-settled jurisprudence on bigamy. This thesis will discuss the practice of bigamy, the statute punishing bigamy and it's constitutionality. The constitutionality of Art. 349 of the Revised Penal Code shall be challenged in this paper. It shall be challenged under the Due Process Clause, Equal Protection Clause and Free Exercise Clause.
