Marriage between A&D not possible nor advisable till both get divorced from their respective spouse. Live in relation will create problem for A as the husband of D namely C will file criminal complaint under section 497 IPC against him for indulging in s*xual relationship with his wife. This will be second trouble for him apart from what he's facing from his own wife. Best course for these couples to go for divorce by mutual consent and restart their lives again with new life partner.

I second what Mr. Mahajan is saying. Its better to seek divorce rather than risking another criminal complaint.
