Re: legality of marriage
Both the marriages are illegal and void abnitio.
Re: legality of marriage
Conversion to Islam ONLY for the purpose of marriage has been declared illegal by the Supreme Court of India.
however, since you have also married again, there is no cause of action with any of you to challege the second marriage of both the spouses.
therefore, even if second marriage of both of you is illegal, you may continue like a 'live in' relationship.
in strict legal sense, both the second marriages are void having been ceremonised without dissolution of the first marriage.
