Can we marry without getting divorce if it’s not registered and both parties agree to part away with a written bond agreement and marriage is not registered?

  Hi all, my sister got married 3 months back and the marriage didn’t last, for whatever reasons we don’t want to continue with the marriage and would like to part ways. We made a written bond agreement to agree on not being together with all the family members and others as witnesses. Now my father wants to find a match for my sister. I am saying divorce is needed even if the marriage is not registered.
  
  Please give suggestions 🙏

  NAL. But I think you are officially ‘married’ if all the rituals are completed(at least in Hindu based marriage). So I think a valid divorce filling is needed.

  Not getting marriage registered doesn’t mean marriage is not valid. She needs to get divorced else the 2nd marriage is void ab initio. I.e. zero to start with !

  If 7 pheras were done and there are pictures to prove that, then you need a divorce first then remarry

  Nope. That is illegal.
  
  You will have to get a mutual consent divorce first and only then can you marry. It’s not even about marriage registration, if you get married with this person she won’t be your legal nominee and neither will your children have any inheritance rights.

  Based on the recent SC judgement where wife was given maintenence from 2nd husband but want formally divorced from the 1st husband where SC said “maintenance is the legal and moral duty of the husband” one can think they are in a way giving legal recognition to such marriages.
  
  But better to go with divorce first
