One cannot remarry until and unless they are divorced from their spouses and that does not occur until the date of the judgment. If one gets married during the pendency of their divorce, then the second marriage cannot be legally valid.
Although the SC ruled that if both parties from first marriage have amicably parted but case pending in court, then second marriage still valid. A marriage can be annulled only when the law concludes that your marriage was "void" or "voidable." If the court finds the marriage void then there is no need for maintenance.
