Sir, if i am correct sec.494 of IPC not Cr.P.C.

Dear Haroon,

A muslim women cant marry another man while husband is alive - either she must have take khula or her husband must have talaq her as per mohammaden law

If nothing has happend then that marriage is not valid - she involved in adultry - and its punishable act

Even as muslim having relationship with another man is "haram"

Only a muslim men is allowed to marry 4 wifes base on his financial conditions, if he just marrying a women for "lust"  then too that marriage is leagal but he will be punished by Allah in "akhirat" base on his act

So its all about "neeyath' here, by fear of allah - what you said here is true - against that women - then she involved in adultry & cheating - its punishable act,

Immidiately  husband can divorce her and raise a leagl case against her to punish her otherwise he can forgive her - as allah always like the people who forgives the other who harms them and leave to allah to decide.
