Second marriage/ live in relationship??


30-Sep-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I am a 29 year old (unmarried) woman in love with a 35 year old (married) man. Both Hindus. He cannot divorce his wife. But we want to make a life together. What are the legal possibilities? 1) will our marriage be valid if we take his first wife's consent? 2) if we are in a live in relationship and not formally married, do we attract bigamy offence? Any suggestions and support is very much appreciated.
