Legal Question in Family Law in India

Can a Girl at least start looking for a Match (NOT Marry) if Divorce is filed

My Sister was harassed for Dowry and had to suffer cruelties and therefore filed a complaint against her in-laws.(406, 498A).

Now if we file a Divorce and since the Divorce process may take a long time, Can we at least start looking for a new suitable match for her by giving advertisements in newspapers, matrimonial websites etc. and marry her only after the divorce process is complete or would it be ILLEGAL to even search for a match now by giving advertisements etc.

The search for a match may not be illegal or wrong but it may adversely affect her divorce case. Therefore, it may be better if you try to reach an amicable out of court settlement with the opposite party for a "mutual consent divorce" and then start the search for her remarriage.

Publishing her name and registering with matri sites definitely damage her divorce petition if the opposite party claims.
