1. Bigamy is not permissible among Hindus. If a Hindu remarries during the subsistence of his marriage he is liable to be prosecuted for the offence of bigamy under Section 494 IPC which carries an imprisonment of up to 7 years.

2. Even if a Hindu man converts to another religion which permits polygamy, he still cannot remarry unless his marriage is first dissolved under the personal law governing the dissolution of his marriage regardless of his conversion. He will continue to be governed by the personal law which governed his marriage even after his conversion to a religion which permits polygamy.

3. Live in relationship is permissible and they can have children also from it.

- Hence, the said marriage with the second wife without getting divorce from the first wife is not valid and attract Bigamy as per law. 

-  Further , since the second marriage is not a valid marriage , hence as per law that lady will not treat as your legal wife, except a consensual relationship, for which no rape case made out now. 

2. The Supreme Court in the matter of Sarla Mudgal v Union of India, has held , that conversion to Islam only for the sake of solemnizing a second marriage without dissolution of the first valid Hindu marriage will not invalidate the first marriage. In fact, the second marriage will be invalid.

- Hence, if you convert to Islam , only for getting marriage with that lady , then that will be not considered you legal marriage. 

-. As per the Supreme Court, When a man and a woman live together as husband and wife for a long term, the law will presume that they are legally married unless proved contrary.
- Further, the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005 provides for the protection, maintenance and right of palimony to a live-in partner, if she complains.

- Further, the children born to live-in relationship are considered legitimate and enjoy all property rights due to them. They have the right to self-acquired properties of parents under the Section 16 of the Hindu Marriage Act.

- No, wife cannot file any case against lady.
