Getting remarried without getting a divorce
12-May-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hi I got married to a girl few years back in a court marriage. After a year or so she left me without informing me . I tried contacting her but I couldn't. She just disappeared so I couldn't divorce her. It's almost 10 years now . But now I want to get married again. Do I somehow need to apply for divorce by contacting her or can I get married without divorce? Will it be considered valid?
You may file divorce on the ground that your wife whereabouts are not known for more than 7 years. You shall have to obtain divorce before you again remarry otherwise you may face legal consequences if your first wife returns. So, you cannot remarry without formally obtaining a divorce.

when she disappeared, you have to lodge a complaint with your police station. If she was not found for seven years, after 7 years the police would issues you certificate of not trace. with this certificate you can remarry any person as per your choice.
coming to the present matter.... if your wife not even traced till today, you should prove that your wife was not heard of all these 10 years and to made believe her whoom you are going to marriage.
you can not obtain divorce from a person who is not available.
