Legal Question in Family Law in India
second Marriage
I got a hindu divorced woman remarried to a man whose first wife has not divorced him but accepted me as his wife in front of all verbally. Is there any way of getting a legal status without him getting a divorce from his first wife.She is ready to write on a plain paper but not on stamp paper or in court due to fear of loosing her status of a wife. Please suggest.

Presuming you both are non muslims and The marriage being null and void in law no way.
Re: second Marriage
There is no way a second woman may become legal wife; but if the first wife has no objection, you may marry him as per Hindu rites and ceremonies; because ONLY she can file a complaint of bigamy and if her consent is there, then there will be no hassle; though the marriage may still be not legally valid; but you will get all the legal rights including maintenance, inheritance etc. and your children will be legal;
