Marrying again without divorce

Hi, Need some help in my aunt's case.

 

She got married a long time back in India and the couple moved to the US. After two years the husband filed for a divorce in India.

 

The divorce case is still going on. Meanwhile the husband got American citizenship and married another lady in the US. My aunt has the mariage certificate regarding his second marriage in the US. Can she file a  criminal case against him and if so under what section and what are the implications.

 

Thanks.
