What is the diff between adultery and void marriage ?

Dear Sirs,

What is the difference between adultery and void marriage ? i.e. if a man marries second time, without divorcing the first wife, and continues to live with both the wives separately, Is this adultery ? Known the fact that second marriage is void but will this come under adultery ?

It is bigamy which is a punishable offense.

 

Definition of adultary as per ipc s that the second woman has to be a 'legal current wife' of another man!! AND  without the consent or connivance of that another man!! and moreover s*xual intercourse be proved beyond doubt (e.g. DNA of illegitimate child matches to both) or admited by those involved!!

 

OR in short she should be a 'par-stree'
