My sister's divorce case is ongoing in Alipurduar court. Today, the judge ruled that her husband can remarry but is not yet divorced. Is such a ruling legally possible?

A person cannot legally remarry without first obtaining a divorce decree. If the judge allowed remarriage without finalizing divorce, it may be a misinterpretation. Your sister can challenge this order in a higher court. Bigamy is a punishable offence under Indian law, so remarriage before divorce is not valid.
