In a Public Interest Litigation filed to get legal sanctity for the nullity of marriage (divorce) by Christian matrimonial tribunal under Canon Law, the Supreme Court of India refused to grant order.
In fact it is not a new news. It is well established principle and ongoing practice that those who obtains nullity of marriage through Matrimonial Tribunal under Canon law used to wait for the divorce from the Civil Court for their second marriage.
The difference is that if one get divorce from the Civil Court he can remarry even without the judgment of nullity from the Matrimonial Court, under civil law of marriage. But on contra, if the civil court has not granted divorce, one cannot remarry as it would be an offence in India.
