Can I get divorce from second husband if not divorced officially first


18-Jan-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I am a Hindu woman. I was married to a guy living in MP from same cast in year 2012 far away from my home in Maharashtra. We got separated due to extreme mismatch in culture just after 2 months of marriage. The separation was done before Jaat panchayat on a stamp paper. Since then both of us moved on. The guy remarried and now has a child from second wife. After 4 long years I married another divorcee man who had obtained his divorce through decree of divorce from court. We married as per Hindu rituals in April 2016 but soon I discovered that man suffered from many health issues related to liver, blood platelets, sever vitamin deficiencies and hence was not able to maintain a normal physical relationship. He also stopped working and was living off rental income. He admits he had hidden these facts from me. Now I am living separate since Dec 2016. What is the way out of this marriage?

The validy of your first divorce will have to be checked whether whether signed all the panch members and stamp. Just a separation agreement mutually signed in front of witness will not be a valid Divorce hence second marriage voild so question of divorce does not arise. Is your current husband aware of your previous marriage ? Consult an advocate and after discussiing all facts a strategy can be planned.
