A.Dear Sir/ Mam
They can sue you for bigamy and can held your second marriage as void. You have to file for divorce before getting in your new marriage relation. Court may ask you people for cooling period at that time if you fail to consummate during that period then you will get a divorce from your first wife and husband.

A.Neither of you would be charged criminally for living together without divorcing your spouse but it amounts to adultery and forms a strong ground for divorcing by the other side and in the case of adulterous husband it is very much possible that his wife may file case for mental cruelty under law pertaining to prevention of Domestic Violence or in case she wants to divorce than may ask for huge alimony for divorce.
