Nullity of marriage and divorce- Void marriages THE HINDU MARRIAGE ACT, 1955 them after passing  time for further appeal second marriage should have beep solemnized.

Both your first wife and you committed offences.

The offence of your first wife is not a licence for you to marry again without obtaining a divorce proper.

Both the offences can be complained against by aggrived parties only.     So Complaints by your first wife and you are not contemplated.     

But the husband of your first wife can prosecute your first wife while your second wife can prosecute you if these both didn't have the knowledge of the marriages before.

The pending divorce case is matter of record and irrefutable evidence.

Hope you the copy of police complaint also.
