No, you cannot.
Under Indian law, you must wait until your divorce is finalized and the mandatory appeal period has passed before marrying again. Doing otherwise can lead to criminal charges of bigamy under:

  • Section 494 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC): Bigamy is a punishable offense.

  • Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (Section 5): One condition of a valid Hindu marriage is that neither party should have a living spouse at the time of marriage.

Absolutely NOT. Till the time your Divorce proceedings are pending in Court, whether its Contested or Mutual Consent Divorce, you cannot legally marry another person. As a matter of fact, you cannot marry again till the expiry of 6 months from the date of Divorce. *I’m assuming that parties are governed by Hindu Marriage Act.

Well if the divorce proceedings are pending before the Court or without a divorce one cannot marry, and if in such a scenario a marriage has taken place, the said marriage is void ab initio. Therefore, voh shaqkaas shaadi nai kar saktea.

No, there is no law Firstly there should be divorce decree by the court, The proper statement by the parties to the case should be done in first motion of divorce and then in second motion of divorce. Only after that man can do second marriage, If the man do second marriage before getting divorce from its first wife, its legally punishable. A separate case can be file against that person
