If both of you are Hindus, a Hindu marriage does not require registration to be valid. A marriage performed with the essential religious ceremonies (such as saptapadi, where applicable) can be legally valid even if it was never registered.

If a person has married a second time while the first husband is alive, then that marriage is legally invalid and no one accepts itAnd if the second wife comes to know during this time that he was already married, then she can file a case in the court against that person under 494 IPC, which has now become Section 84, but if children are born from the second wife, then the second wife and her children are entitled to receive maintenance from the fusband

Agar unki pehli shadi legally divorce nahi hui thi aur pehli wife zinda hain, toh aapki shaadi legally Null and invalid maani jaayegi, chahe unki pehli shaadi ke papers ho ya na ho. Paper na hone se unki pehli shaadi khatam nahi ho jaati,customary rituals saat phere ke proofs hi unki pehli shaadi prove karne ke liye kaafi hain.
