[Fixed]-Validating the form without required field in django 1.8

Your view function is wrong – you have to pass the invalid form to the context to get the error messages, ie:

def view_MainForm(request):    
    if request.method == 'POST' :
        form_instance = form_MainForm(request.POST)
        if form_instance.is_valid():
            form_instance.save()
            # here you should redirect to avoid
            # re-submission of the form on page reload
            # cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post/Redirect/Get
            return render(request,'done.html',{'text':form_instance.cleaned_data.get('email')})

    else:
        form_instance = form_MainForm()

    context = {"form": form_instance}
    return render(request,'main_form.html',context)

check this link to render error in your form https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/forms/#rendering-form-error-messages , this will give an idea like why you are not able to save data.
when you are sending back the form it should be
context = {“form”: form_MainForm(request.POST)} , this will display the form submitted values
