I have a doubt. I hope this site will be help me out to find the solution. Actually one of my friend sister who's loving a guy. In the mid that guy got married another girl and right now that guy has a got a kid too. But still that guy wants to marry my friend sister and she also wanted to marry that guy. Is it possible? But my friends parents are totally disappointed with their daughter attitude. They dont know what to do. And that girl is threatening their parents if they give a complaint on that guy she will safely say that she doesnt know him. That guy is also ready to marry the girl illegally without knowing to anyone. Can anyone suggest me how to solve this issue thro legally and under which section he can be arrested. I Will be happy to help my friend family. I request you to kindly send a mail to [email protected].

(a) It is not possible to marry a man who is already married.
(b) Both of them may be guilty of adultery and bigamy.
(c) Since the marriage, if happens, will not be legal, the status of the girl will at best be that of a "mistress" and not that of wife.
You have not spelt out what the first wife has to say..In case of second marriage of husband , first wife is the only person who can prosecute & punish the husband for th charges of adultary and bigamy
