Can I perform second marriage without dissolving and disclosing first marriage?

I did court marriage with my BF in Ghaziabad court in 2021, when we were in college without telling our parents. But never live together and our family not agree for our marriage. We are not in contact since last 2 years. I even don't have any document related to marriage. Now my family looking for partner for my marriage. I live in Delhi. 1) Can I marry in Delhi and register marriage in Delhi without telling anyone about my last? 2.) What are the chances that anyone will know about my previous marriage? 3.) Is there a quick way to end my first marriage without telling anyone? 4.) I provided the Aadhar details at the time of first marriage. Whether Ghaziabad and Delhi registrar linked to find that I am already married at the time of registration of marriage?

1)    No, you cannot legally marry and register a second marriage in Delhi without disclosing your previous marriage. Bigamy is a criminal offense Indian Penal Code,
2)    There's a possibility that your previous marriage could be discovered. Marriage registrations are maintained records
3)    No, there's no legal and ethical way to quickly end your first marriage without informing anyone. A valid court marriage can only be dissolved through legal procedures like mutual divorce or contested divorce.
4)    Yes, there's a possibility of cross-checking between Ghaziabad and Delhi registration databases.
