Remarriage while Divorce is pending
25-Aug-2023 (In Divorce Law)
A has married B in 2010 and filed for Divorce in 2012. A has married C again In 2014 while the inevitable Divorce with B was still pending in court. Finally A and B were divorced in 2016 and there were no further appeals or disputes. Below are the questions: 1. Can B or Children of B(& A) or anyone else challenge the marriage of A & C? 2. Can anyone deny the status of legal heir for C down the lane?
Hi
1) Since A has married C whilst the divorce proceedings between A & B are pending in court of law, the marriage between A & C is invalid and void.
2) Children of B can deny the status of C in court of law on the grounds that
a) on the date of marriage between A&C, A's marriage with B was subsisting and
b) hence C cannot claim to be a legally wedded wife of A.

Dear,
No. Neither B nor children of B or anyone else can challenge the marriage of A&C now as divorce of A&B is over now. They could have raised the matter of the matter of marriage between A & C when divorce between A & B was pending. The court will not entertain now as the matter is irrelevant now and no one can deny the status of legal heir of C down the line simply because A&C married during the time of divorce between A&B.
