hello,

there is no need to share this information. the law says that neither party should have a spouse living at the time of marriage. which is true in your case. she is now your former spouse. therefore, legally you are free to marry again.

Your brother would have to produce a certified copy of the ex Parte decree to the registrar for the purposes of registration of his second marriage.

Without the decree of divorce, second marriage cannot be performed during the lifetime of the first wife.

In exparte decree the other party has opportunity to take the revision of the decree.

If reasonable time has been passed after the degree and there is no revision petition pending in the court then he can go for second marriage but please keep in mind that the revision of ex Parte decree can be sought in the court after condonation of delay

Second marriage during subsistence of earlier marriage is null and void .Your brother should marry only after the appeal period (90 days) have passed of court passing exparty decree. Your brother should produce exparty divorce decree before Registrar.

Dear,

As you mentioned that your brother got ex party divorce, so first of all right

of appeal is with your brother's wife on this ex party order.

If 1 year passed then this order is enough otherwise wait for the

1 year period.
