Answer #2

If divorce decree was valid and no stay was granted, remarriage after decree is lawful. SC generally won’t unsettle a concluded divorce after remarriage; at most relief may be compensatory, protecting second marriage and child.

Answer #3

Yes, you can remarry after 3 months, but only if: The 90-day appeal period is over, and No appeal has been filed by the other party in the High Court. Why this 3-month waiting period? Under Section 15 of the Hindu Marriage Act, the law gives both parties time to file an appeal against the divorce judgment. So marriage during this window is risky. Important caution ⚠️ If you remarry before 90 days and later your ex-spouse files an appeal, the second marriage can become legally problematic. Some courts have even treated such remarriages as invalid if an appeal was pending.

Answer #4

Yes, your brother can legally protect his second marriage and child Chances of SC reversing divorce at this stage are extremely low Worst-case scenario (very unlikely): financial compensation to ex-wife Disturbing the second marriage is practically off the table
