Firslty, Sir, as per the law of marriage in India with respect to Christians would also remain same as of Hindu.

Secondly, you may have some illicit relation with someone, but you can’t marry her without giving divorce to your first wife.

Thirdly, as she is very ill since long time, and now she can’t even understand the world around her.

Fourthly, you move a divorce petition on the compassionate ground itself, may get it may not.

Fifthly, as of now there is no such law for getting married for the second time.

1. Unless and until you dissolve your first marriage, you can not legally marry for the second time.

2. Since your wife is competent to take service of summons of divorce suit, there is no legal hindrance to serve the summons to her.

3. Now whether she would contest the case on her won or through her constituted attorney it would be her choice.

4. Fortunately law goes by the settled provisions of it and not by sympathy. If that is so then you would have never allowed to remarry taking advantage of illness of your wife.

Hello,

The personal law prohibits polygamy among Christians and as such if you marry second women then the same becomes a crime as per the Indian Penal Code.

If the first wife does not understand anything then you may go ahead and live with the second lady but she will not get the status of a legally wedded wife.

1. You can not marry or the second time without obtaining a decree of divorce from the Court.

2. You can file the divorce suit on the ground of her developing insanity and then send her the notice accordingly.

3. After marrying for the second time with the said lady, your ex-wife can stay with you for which there will be no legal bar.

Without divorcing your present wife, you can not marry again as has been explained in my earlier post.

Unless your first marriage is legally dissolved, you cannot marry another woman on whatever ground.

As per law you cannot marry another woman during the subsistence of your marriage and the spouse living.

Since your wife is a psychiatric patient you may file a petition for divorce mentioning this and attach a medical certificate to this effect, you can implead your son who is taking care of her as a second respondent to represent her in the court on her behalf.

Do not do the mistake of marrying another woman, however there is no restriction to live with that woman without marriage.

Is there any compassion ground in law tat I can marry a second woman legally and what are the requirements?

There is no provision in law for that.

1. You can neither marry her nor assign the status of second wife to her unless you divorce your wife.

2. There is no compassionate ground. Since you are a Christian you are governed by Indian Divorce Act. Under Section 10 of Indian Divorce Act a petition for divorce can be filed if the other spouse has been incurably of unsound mind for a continuous period of not less than two years immediately preceding the presentation of the petition.
