No it's not legal. She can't marry by any means until her marriage with you is dissolved through a divorce petition. You can surely resort to legal action against her. You can avail our services and we will help you with that.

First she should get divorce from you then only she can marry afresh otherwise the same will amount into the offence of adultery. Divorce is mandatory for a new marriage to take place and if not then penal offence will arise.

You may file 494, 497 IPC against them. All you require is to prove your or their marriage.
There are ways to harass them but you need to hire a lawyer for that without counsel you can't do anything .

No it is not legal. It is illegal marriage rather it can not be termed as marriage. Without getting divorce no one can remarry. Although on this ground you can seek divorce and you can also implicate your younger brother if you have evidence
