A.Dear Sir,
You must be very careful if the other party is educated then you have to get divorce irrespective of it was registered or not. Temple marriages also recognized in India and such girl cannot marry during subsistence of marriage.

A.Yes marriage is valid for all purposes. Marriage between two adults if performed in any form in terms of rites and rituals are valid. So marriage performed in temple in terms of Hindu way is valid. If marriage is performed within one year and if grounds so exist then only oeition for annulment can only be filed and if one year has expired then divorce petition can be filed. Divorce by mutual consent is best option of divorce.

A.Hi,
If there are witnesses and the photographs which can document and prove that the your friend had married the girl, then the marriage would be considered as valid one. Further, the boy and the girl should be of marriageable age as per the law. If the marriage is valid, then you will have to apply for divorce or annulment as the case may be.
