No you cannot marry a lady who is already married. The women has to take divorce before she can marry you. If you marry her without getting divorce you are calling for big trouble for both of you. She will be liable under section 494 and you can be prosecuted under section 497 and 498 of IPC.

No, you cannot. The woman will have to get divorced by filing a petition in family court. Marrying a woman during subsistence of previous marriage is an offence. You as well as the woman can be tried and can be convicted.

You can not marry her until she is not divorced. Bigamy is a punishable offence. As her to expedite her divorce proceedings. Tell her to file for a divorce case if she has not filed for it. Kindly book a consultancy call for any further clarification and for more detailed advice.
