Assuming they were "legally" married in the first place, according to the laws of the jurisdiction in which they resided at the time, their marriage will continue until the death of one or the other of them or until terminated by a court of law. The implications of this can be seen by this real case: A husband, separated from his lawful wife for a long period and not knowing if she is alive or dead, remarries. Upon his death, his estranged wife appears to make a claim to his estate and prevails. The man's second "wife" was left with nothing!

If a husband obtains a US divorce from a civil marriage in the US without mentioning the religious marriage in India and the couple still live together is the divorce valid?
US laws take precedence, therefore if the couple were legally married in the US and legally divorced in the US, then the divorce is valid. If the couple lived together as a couple (engaging in a sexual relationship, sharing mutual finances, etc.) at the time the divorce was pending then the divorce is not valid.

Is living together before marriage illegal?
It is a matter of opinion and no ones business, but the couple involved. For convenience sakes many young people (even some older individuals) will live together without getting married or live together until they do get married. It is only wrong is eyes of the couple. The downside of living together before marriage is the couple has been living like a married couple so it takes the excitement and joy out of any upcoming wedding because what is left? The couple has lived together for 1 or more years; done the same things a married couple does and by getting married they have lost the part of the excitement of not living together and waiting for the day of their wedding and then having their wedding night whether they have had a sexual relationship before or not. Then they get to live together and experience the joys and some downsides and make a future for themselves.
