Dear Experts,
My sister left her matrimonial place almost 10 years back. Before leaving, both the parties signed an affidavit that they are not willing to stay together and hence getting separated forever and that they don't have any claims against each other. They have no kids from the marriage.
There was no legal divorce. The man got married afterwards.
My sister is planning to get married now. But as the separation is not legal, we lost some proposals.
Is there any way to dissolve the marriage legally now, without involving the other party?

Contact the previous husband and file mutual consent divorce, may be granted in 6 months.
If he refuse, your sister has option to file criminal case against him for living with another lady without divorce.

Court alone can grant divorce.
