Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1) since you have filed an appeal against divorce decree your husband cannot remarry .
2) second marriage during subsistence of appeal would be void . HC had stayed divorce decree
3) second marriage would be legal if divorce decree has gone unchallenged
4) file case of Bigamy against your husband
Dear Sir, Thank you for your Quick Reply. Since he had divorce degree on 18th October 2016 & I have applied for order copy on 24 November 20016. & Received the order copy of Divorce degree on 30th December. I have got the Stay order on the 19th January 2017. Total day is 91 Days passed. Can this will favor his second marriage. Moreover he has not received summons of court stay Order on 21st January 2017 sent to him by post. His lawyer advice him don't Received court summons & get married you have Crossed 90days. He has married on 23rd January 2017. Please go through dates & S
when did you file appeal ?
appeal has to be filed within period of 90 days
3) husband cannot remarry during subsistence of appeal
4) if you have filed appeal on time it will not favour his second marriage
5) what is endorsement on notice sent by post
6) if husband refused to accept court summons it is deemed to be served
Your husband if has married within the period for which the limitation for appeal is still available then the second marriage what he contracted now shall be null and void.
In your casen he married even after he is let known about the stay of his divorce decree operation,.
Therefore in my opinion you may very well lodge a criminal complaint under section 494 IPC for bigamy.
The computation of 90 days is incorrect. If the judgment was pronounced on 18.10.2016, the date of delivery of judgment shall be taken into account which shall be less the time taken for supplying the copies.
Therefore you may argue that this is very well within the limitation of 90, a period applicable for appeal.
You may also engage a prudent lawyer and argue the maintainability of this properly on the basis of your situation.
