Any person who is already married & having living spouse cannot marry second time as it will amount to bigamy. This the general rule applicable to all but Muslims who can marry & have four legal wives at one time, provided they married these wives according to their religious form i.e. according to Muslim Shariat law & not according to Civil or court marriage. In case a Muslim Marries any lady according to civil or court marriage he shall have to first give divorce to such wife before he marries a second time otherwise he shall be bound by the civil form of marriage law which is the Special Marriage Act, 1954 in India that prevents any second marriage by him even if he is a Muslim & his religion allows such a second marriage. In any other case i.e. person belonging to any other religion cannot legally marry second time till he dissolve his first marriage, whether such first marriage was preformed by civil or court marriage form or his religious form, in any case he is bound by this marriage & unless he dissolve such a marriage by decree of divorce or annulment as the case may be he will not be allowed to marry again legally, but if do so he can face punishment for the offence of bigamy under the provisions of section 494 of the Indian Penal Code in India.

It seems your alliance has been decided and you want to know an auspicious date for marriage. You should consult the person who performs the marriage according to your religion. He will decide the date in consultation with your family. You can find many dates and you will have to decide according to the suitability.
