on the above mentioned query you know that this is offence. divorce case is pending means divorce is not done yet. if first marriage is still in existence then the the subsequent second relationship is void. you have to wait for the second one. please continue your second relation but not publicly show this. if the opposite party proved that you are in relationship with another one with your parents consent then the court take cognisance against you

It is not punishable offence but any proof regarding the same may week our case of produce before the court. Why you are waiting so long it can be done in very lesser time if you take stapes carefully otherwise it will take years.

please open that's in what category of personal laws u come i.e. hindu marriage acts or muslim laws, whatever but remarriage is punishable while having a living spouse living seperately. so first come to the final stage of your divorce petition. until that u can hold your second marriage.
