Can a man marry another woman during ongoing divorce proceedings?
Sir, can you explain if a man who is married, has filed for divorce (which has been a process for 8 years and is not yet finalized), should marry another girl or not?

In India, a man cannot remarry while still legally married, even if divorce proceedings have been ongoing for several years. According to the Hindu Marriage Act, remarriage during the subsistence of the first marriage is not permitted and can lead to charges of bigamy. He should wait until the divorce is finalized before considering remarriage, or seek legal assistance to expedite the process. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
