A. Dear Client,

Without a divorce decree from a competent court annulling a marriage, neither spouse can legally marry another person, violating Section 5(1) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, rendering such a marriage void under Section 11 of the Act. Consequently, disputes or claims stemming from such a void marriage are inadmissible and cannot be maintained in law or in practice.
