Re-marriage without divorce decree

Srinivas Kumar (Querist) 26 July 2016 This query is : Resolved
Hi Experts,

I got married on Feb 2013. And lived with my spouse till September 2013. My wife left me and on Feb 2014 she had filed nullity of marriage for non-consummation(she had not given her consent for intercourse) of marriage. I contested and represented as party-in-person and the case has been dismissed on June 2016. Overall we are living apart for more than 2.5 years.

My query is "DOES ANY HINDU SPOUSE OF WOMAN CAN REMARRY WITHOUT GETTING DICVORCE DECREE FROM HER HUSBAND"? Is it a valid marriage as per LAW?

Is there any such provision in Indian LAWS for a woman to re-marry like that?

Please help me in this regard.

Thanks.

Sorry, emphatic no is the answer unless there is a prevalence of customary divorce and any of the spouses availed customary divorce.
