Legal Question in Family Law in India

the girl you are going to marry is not divorced and stamp paper divorce is not valid.

As rightly advised above, you are entitled to marry her. If you do, the marriage will be void and you may face criminal trial leading to a possible jail term.

My previous advice in which the word 'NOT' is missing, may be ignored.
