Patiala, Punjab — Popular YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 3 contestant Armaan Malik, along with his wives Payal Malik and Kritika Malik, has been summoned by the Patiala District Court in connection with two separate legal cases alleging violations of the Hindu Marriage Act.
The cases relate to allegations that Armaan Malik’s marital arrangements may constitute polygamy, which is prohibited under Indian law for Hindus. The court has ordered all three to appear on September 2, 2025.
What the Cases Are About
- The summons follow a petition filed by a local lawyer alleging that Malik’s multiple marriages breach provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, which allows only monogamous unions for Hindus.
- The lawyer further claimed that Armaan had married four times, not just twice as widely known — an allegation Malik has not publicly confirmed.
- These are personal law cases, not financial disputes.
₹100-Crore Lawsuit Rumour Is False
In recent days, some social media accounts and smaller portals circulated claims that the court cases involved a ₹100-crore lawsuit.
However, no mainstream or credible source — including The Times of India, Indiatimes, and other major outlets — has reported any financial claim of that magnitude.
The only confirmed legal matter concerns marriage law violations.
Public Persona & Reality TV Fame
Armaan Malik rose to wider fame during Bigg Boss OTT 3, where his unconventional family life became a talking point. Known for creating daily-life vlogs with both wives, Malik has often faced criticism and trolling but also enjoys a large, loyal fan base.
In the reality show, Malik openly defended his choice to have two wives, once saying,
“Har aadmi chahta hai ki do biwiyan ho.”
(“Every man wishes to have two wives.”)
Court Date & Possible Outcomes
- Next hearing date: September 2, 2025
- If found guilty of violating the Hindu Marriage Act, Malik could face a fine, imprisonment, or annulment orders — though such cases often take months or years to conclude.
Why This Matters
- Legal precedent: High-profile cases under the Hindu Marriage Act draw attention to how India’s personal laws are applied in modern contexts.
- Reality TV impact: The timing — shortly after Bigg Boss OTT 3 — means Malik’s case has attracted outsized media interest.
- Public debate: Malik’s lifestyle has sparked conversations about relationship norms, law, and morality.
