Best Answer

Yes, because you are still legally married until the final divorce decree is signed and registered. Final resolution of finances and other items may take some time after that. Give yourself some leeway before setting the date to remarry.

Can a married man marry another woman without the approval of the other or the other knowing?

In short: Definitely not. Legally speaking, you will need to get a divorce, a process that could take up to two years. You cannot have two wives. If you do, it is called bigamy, and as said before, it is illegal. Answer 2: You could try and even get away with it for a time. Bigamy is punishable by jail time, I would not advise it.
