• Can I remarry after the first hearing of divorce.?

My would be husband has not got the final divorce as he filed a case against his first wife. Their is divorce hearing on 2march 2019 and the lawyer has said by next hearing final divorce will be done. So is it possible that we can marry in the month of April ending because he used to stay in abroad and he will be coming for one month only in that april month. And for my visa registry marriage is important so can we do that as well?

You can marry only after the divorce decree is granted and appeal period is over that is of 90 days.That is if contested divorce you have to wait for another 90 days after divorce, if mutual consent you can marry after the divorce is granted by court.

1. After the passing of 90 days from the date of divorce it is advisable to get remarried so the period of appeal gets over.

2. However the validity of remarriage never gets affected merely because it is done within one month from the date of passing of decree of divorce.

3. SO if there is urgency in your case as it appears you can remarry and apply for visa accordingly.

You dont do the mistake of marrying him without he getting his marriage dissolved by a decree of divorce.

Your marriage will be null and void and all your plans to migrate to abroad with this support will be shattered.

First confirm that his marriage has been dissolved and see the decree copy your own eyes and also take a legal opinion from a different advocate and then proceed with your plans to marry him.

I am sorry but you can't marry unless the divorce is pending. if you marry before the decree of divorce is passed, that marriage would be a nullity. also as per the HMA, you cannot marry unless the time for appeal against the decree has elapsed/the other party has not appealed/ the appeal is dismissed.

1. For him to remarry without obtaining a decree of divorce will be bigamy which is a punishable offence under Section 494 IPC.

2. He should wait for the decree to be passed and drawn up, and then only remarry. 

3. It is not clear from your statement of facts as to whether the next hearing would be first or second motion.

Dear Madam,

Remarriage without getting divorce is a punishable offence with seven years’ imprisonment

As per Hindu Law, Christian personal law and Special Marriage Act(called as court marriage popularly), unless one dissolves a marriage legally, subsequent marriage will be void or invalid.

Even after getting divorce decree, one needs to wait till time for filing appeal passes and the decree is not challenged in a Higher court till that time.

Such marriage is void ab-initio and is not a marriage in eyes of law. The person so marrying can be charged with Bigamy.

Also, if a man marries a woman whose divorce case is running in court, he can be put on trial for Adultery as well apart from Bigamy,

1. No, I would not advise you to marry within 90 days from the date of divorce.

2. You can not marry him till the divorce is granted and 90 days thereafter since 90 days is the time of appeal within which the wife can file an appeal before he Higher Court.
