It’s a very complicated situation you are in. The only solution to your problem is a very tough one. You can’t marry again as long as you have existing spouse as per Hindu marriage act. Even if you marry that marriage will be considered as a void marriage and for bigamy you will be imprisoned for 7yrs. So you have to make a tough choice. If you want to live with another lady who is pregnant you have to take divorce with mutual consent with your wife that takes 6months to one year and then you can remarry that second lady and be happy with her and your child. But if you don’t wanna marrry her and if you want to compromise with your married life then pay as much compensation as possible as alumni to the second lady for her to live happily along with the child and you can live with your wife. These 2 are the only options you have because you can’t abort a child at 8th month pregnancy. It depends on whom you wanna live with.
