1. Your dad and his second wife have committed bigamy as this lady was not divorced at the time of her marriage to your father. If a criminal prosecution for bigamy is launched by the husband of this lady your dad may be imprisoned for 7 years.
2. You have no right to "break" the marriage.
3. Your father should file for annulment of marriage if he wants to avoid going to jail.

1. Well, remarriage without divorce is a criminal offence u/s 494 IPC under which your father can also come if her first husband lodges complaint with police.
2. Now if your father is not ready to listen to you then you could nothing. He is an adult person and has enough prudence to make choice between safety and danger.
Hi, you don't have any right to break the marriage of your father and thing is that it will become offence only when husband of the women lodge a complaint against your father.
You have no right to break his marriage. If he has a lonely feeling so he decided to marry. How much care you given to your father after the death of your mother. If she is not divorced properly through court their marriage is not valid one.But you must understand that Two major peoples leaved together is not a crime.
If your father has married a lady whose previous marriage subsisted at the time of the present marriage, this marriage shall be null and void and also attracts the offence of bigamy. Her previous husband can lodge a complaint against her for an act of bigamy and also for declaring her subsequent marriage as null and void.
