Is it necessary to obtain decree of nullity ?

Surely it is a case of nulity. You can file an application under sec 12 of HMA.

Yes.If you want to get rid of your present wife.

Dear Amit,

The divorce of a present wife who did not obtain divorce from a court of law is not valid.

Hence, the marriage between the present wife and present husband is null and void u/s 11 of Hindu Marriage Act.

It is not mandatory to seek for declaration of such a marriage as nullity.  It is purely optional because such a marriage is void abinitio.

Not mandatory to seek nullity of marriage.

 such a  decaration  is  governed by  se  11  and  not  by  12  of  the Hindu Msarriage  Act, though  it  will not  be  obligatary to  seek   such  a  declaration  yet ,  if there is  cloud  prevailing  over the  true  status , it  would be  advisable  to  seek  such  a  decararion
