Dear Sir,
It is as follows. Please come to my office for more suggestions
Christian Marriage Act– Even though the Christian Marriage Act doesn’t have specific provision for Bigamy, Form of Register Marriage is only for Bachelor/Spinster and Widow/Widower. For Marriage Certificate Section 60 Sub Section (2) states that “neither of the persons intending to be married shall have a wife or husband still living”, and making false oath or declaration is punishable under Section 193 of IPC, this clarifies that more than one marriage will be considered illegal under this act.

Hi...if there is no problem from your first husband then you can go for second marriage without and hindrance and if both the parties to the marriage are ready for divorce then go for mutual consent by that you will get divorce within six months .
Thank you

Unless you take divorce, your second marriage wont get legitimised. Do not make Second mistake, unless you obtain divorce from First husband as per the statutory provisions, you are not supppsed to get married. It will lead to further complications.

You had to file petition seeking divorce first and in case if it is amenable to file the same before the family court in the place you are living at present. Otherwise you have to file petition before the jurisdiction of the family court at which you were last resided together. Apart from that the normal coloring period to file divorce is one year

You cannot remarry before getting divorce.
If your husband ready for mutual divorce, it can dissolve within a week, if he is not ready for mutual divorce it will take minimum 1 to 2 year.
First discuss with your husband about divorce, after that you can decide what steps should be taken for dissolving marriage.
