Answer #2

Yes, you can stay in live-in. If both you and your wife are ready and willing to part ways by getting divorced then you can opt for divorce by mutual consent which is not a lengthy procedure. Feel free to contact me for seeking any legal advice/assistance as regards the same.

Answer #4

No, a person who is legally married cannot enter into a live-in relationship with another woman without first obtaining a divorce from their spouse. Doing so would be considered bigamy under Section 494 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) if the live-in relationship is deemed to have the nature of a marriage. Additionally, the first wife may file a case for adultery and cruelty under matrimonial laws. To avoid legal complications, the person should first obtain a legal divorce before entering into a live-in relationship.
