Q: Can I do court marriage with my already married girlfriend
Me and my girlfriend are know each other from 5 years and when we told our parents about our relationship than my gf's parents force my gf for marriage with other man so me and my girlfriend want to live together!
Can we live together even she is already married
A: No, it is not legal to do a court marriage with someone who is already married. In most jurisdictions, bigamy or polygamy is illegal and can result in serious legal consequences. Additionally, it is important to consider the emotional and ethical implications of pursuing a relationship with someone who is already married. It is recommended to consult with a lawyer to explore your legal options in your specific situation.
Gunda Yohanna Brost agrees with this answer
A: Marrying someone already married would be bigamy and the marriage would be deemed invalid at inception. Now nobody can forbid the two of you to live together in this country if that’s what you both want to do. It may be simplest for her to file a divorce. Somehow her opinion on these marriages is missing in your equation.
