How to marry without getting a divorce?


20-Oct-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My husband and I separated 11 years ago due to his behavior/actions - alcoholism, gambling, stealing, not working etc. I met a man around 7 years ago and he wants to marry me. I am a Hindu and have a 10 year old daughter staying with me. Can I marry without getting divorced? He won't agree to a divorce. I got married in 1998.

Marriage with you getting the divorce will be illegal. You can file the divorce case individually. But before that explore if you have any chance of mutual divorce, because that is less time consuming and you have been living sepret since long time.
