"X" has commited the offence of bigamy under Hindu law. Consent from first wife will not nullify the offence. To be a valid marriage with "Y", he should have got divorce from the first wife and then marry "Y".  Now the marriage with "Y" is invalid under law.

Dear

The marriage of X and Y is illegal.

The question whether P has given consent or not doesn't even arise.

Such a type of marriage is illegal and X and Y will not be recognized as legal spouses.

Hi Manoj Kumar when there is existence of first marriage of any person with consent or without consent the 2nd marriage is not valid under the Law.
