  Without divorcing the first husband, second marriage with another person is void.  On this ground first husband can seek for the divorce.

Dear himesh Kumar,

Once a marriage is registere is registered. you have signed as a witness. Now that cannor be erased in any case.

However, the marrage is illegal and void as the Indian law does not permit the second marriage if the woman is still in the first marriage.  Second marriage without obtaining a divorce is a criminal offence which attracts penal action.
