A Gorkha soldier's second wife was denied family pension after his death because he didn't notify his second marriage during his lifetime, despite polygamy being permissible for Gorkha men. The case involved Subedar Tek Bahadur Thapa, who served in the 4th Gorkha Rifles. After his death, his second wife applied for family pension, but the Army denied it due to lack of proper declaration or reason for the second marriage. The Armed Forces Tribunal ruled that without such documentation, she was not entitled to the pension.
