Legal Question in Family Law in India

Re-marriage

Iam a divorcee and I want to marry a boy who is separated but didnot get divorce from court of law as his wife is not ready to go for it.

His wife gave permission to marry me and gave a letter to him which she is not ready to give in the court.

In this issue,what can I do?Can I marry that boy now,but in future..can his x-wife create problem to both of us.Pls guide me.

Iam from Vijayawada,Andhra pradesh.

Re: Re-marriage

You should NOT marry this man until 30 days after he gets a final decree of divorce. the marriage will be VOID in law and you will not be conferred a legal status of wife but will be reduced to be his "CONCUBINE" or "KEEP". Secondly, the first wife may prosecute both of you for bigamy.
