Ok I, I will not say first wife. I will say current wife. As She is bed redden and her parents are not more to put case against him. Is this ok to do a seconds Marriage? Current wife has sisters can they put bigamy case again him? Or some other people files a case against him?

One thing certain is U R  not the husband,what way R U related to the query? It is not bigamy but adultery and according to section 497ipc he can be punished with imprisonment upto 5 yrs and fine.
