Employees of the Bihar government who wish to marry for the second time must now notify their respective departments and proceed only after obtaining the necessary permission.

The state government has issued a fresh notification directing all government officials to inform about their marital status and be eligible for a second marriage only after obtaining the necessary permission.

According to the notification, any employee planning to marry for the second time must first seek legal separation from his or her spouse and notify the concerned department.

If the employee’s first wife or husband objects, the second wife or husband will be denied access to government facilities.

Meanwhile, if a government employee marries for a second time without taking permission from the concerned department and dies during the service period, his or her second wife/husband and their children will not be entitled to get jobs on compassionate grounds. The state government will give preference to the children of the first wife.

The general administration has also notified all divisional commissioners, district magistrates, sub-divisional magistrates, the Director general of police (DGP), the DGP home guard, the DGP prison, and every concerned officer to implement the same in their respective jurisdictions.
