According to the hindu marriage act no married person male or female can do another marriage without having decree of divorce awared by the competent court if the partner is alive. So if your wife was married at the time of your marriage then this marriage is null and void. in my opinion you have already waste 5 years by filing petition for divorce. if you have sufficient proof of first marriage of your wife then it is better to file a petition against your wife for declaration of subsequent marriage as null and void but you have to file an application for widrawal of divorce petition with the permission to file fresh suit / petition in the court. After widrawal of divorce petition with the permission to file fresh suit then you can file a fresh petition for declaration of the subsequent marriage as null and void. I think you should get all the answers to your query. still you want any further information or any other advice then contact me without any hesitation through administrator of this website
