Marrying for 2nd time without getting divorce from first husband is an serious offence and your sister along with her 2nd husband would be in SERIOUS trouble if her 1st husband would file a case against your sister then both your sister along with her 2nd husband would be in SERIOUS trouble. So at this juncture suggest your sister to consult with a lawyer.

Second marriage is void while subsistence of first one, show here filing divorce is not solution , because it is invalid, but she can move to first husband and fiile a case to cancel the second one vide a void petition .

According to HMA, second marriage without divorcing first marriage is illegal and void.so marriage with first husband is valid and your second marriage is invalid.your sister also committed crime by marrying second time without divorcing first husband

Dear client,
Your sister without taking divorce from her first husband the second marriage is not a valid marriage. Your sister supressed the ist marriage at the time of marriage u/s 5 of special marriage act.its illegal. i suggest you to say your sister to file a case before family court to decaration the second marriage void.so its better to consult advocate and create reasonable grounds to file this case for declaration.

Divorce is not the proper remedy for her problem . She is advice to declare the marriage nul and void against the second husband as well as the 1 st husband may file complaint against second husband under 494 ipc
