Hi,
If the husband hasn't obtained divorce from the first wife the second marriage is void. The said marriage the second wife can file to declare the marriage void in court. Please also note that the person has committed the offence of bigamy as stated in s.494 and is a criminal offence. I would advise to proceed with caution with regards to whatever it is the person proceeds to do.
