How can we proceed our marriage ? We both are hindus
If the marriage of your partner performed under hindu right and custom then he need to approach the hon'ble family court for dissolution of marriage under desertions . You should not marry untill your partner get divorce .if you do so he may be prosecuted for bigamy will get the punishment also .so better go for divorce under cruelty and desertion .. kindly contact for more details

Whether the marriage is registered or not, due to wedlock she got a son, Whether she is unsecured or secured is matter of opinion. As long as the matter of divorce is not settled with lady who has got a son out of wedlock, another lady cannot marry while first wife is living as per section 5(i) of The Hindu Marriage Act,1955.

Hello,
The validity of a Hindu marriage does not hinge on the registration of the same due to the fact that ceremonies conducted and evidence of the same (invitation card, photos) will constitute a valid marriage.
If both of you want to get married, that has to be done only after obtaining a proper divorce decree the from the Hon’ble Courts so that there is no fear of future litigation.
Unless the first wife is dead or is absconding (not seen) for more than 7 years, marrying without a divorce decree will just be a cosmetic solution and will haunt you later on during the subsistence of your marriage and even the validity of your marriage can be questioned at anytime and can be said to be viod ab initio. Please get proper help before you proceed and think about future problems and DO NOT accept any explanations that it will be alright. Even the inheritence of your children and yourself will come into question later on if there is any dispute.
