Can you marry your fiance if his wife refuses to give him a divorce?

Answer

No, he has to be divorced before he can get married again. But he can take her to court to get a divorce.

Answer

If you live in the United States, he can get a divorce even if she doesn't want to file. In many states it only takes a few months to a year to go through with or without the other spouses consent. In other states it might take longer depending.

A lot of it depends on how the spouse that won't let go decides to drag out paper work in the courts. One way or the other your man can get a divorce. He just has to file.
