The law prohibits getting married to an already married woman. For doing that, the girl needs to get a divorce decree (judgment) from court first and thereafter she'll be eligible for getting married again.

It would be a crime if a married woman stays in a live-in relationship with another person without ending her marriage. And the person living in such a relationship with a woman will be considered a criminal under Section 494/495 of the IPC and also would be regarded as bigamy which is invalid in Hindu Law.

A.First of all a man when marries a woman who is still married to another man then this marriage is not valid in the eyes of law.

Under section 494 of Indian Penal Code,1860,as amended up to date,Whoever, having a husband or wife living, marries in any case in which such marriage is void by reason of its taking place during the life of such husband or wife, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine.
In a recent judgment, the Allahabad High Court ruled that a married woman moving in with another man without divorcing her spouse cannot claim to be in a live-in relationship and seek legal sanctity later.
