in that case, malini marriage becomes illegal because Imlie was alive and not divorced when that marriage happened. Hence, as we had discussed in AY thread, as the makers have not shown the registration of either marriage, they will use this as a plot point to create drama. Also, school certificate name can only of changed after you provide the marriage certificate. The makers have also conveniently forgotten about that.
So currently both marriages legal or illegal depending on how you want to look at it 😛
