Neha,
As per section 494 of IPC, if the whereabouts of one's spouse are not known for seven years or more, then that person can go for another marriage without divorce. But if Laksh married Laxmi less than 7 years back, then it is illegal for him to do second marriage without divorce. But, again as per law, only Laxmi or her blood relatives have the right to drag Laksh to court. If others file case againgst Laksh, then court will not hear the petition.
