Question  

Can the person marry the same woman twice without divorce happen, so make a new nikah and new certificate new party as well nothing was in secret?  

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:  

In principle, nikah is done when the words of ijab(proposal) and qabool(acceptance) are heard in the presence of two male witnesses or one male and two female witnesses. [1] Once this process has taken place, two people are married and there is no need to repeat the process again.    

Only Allah Ta’ala knows best
