Second marriage is nullity and is not recognised in society or by law. The man shall be liable for punishment in this case. You need to prove the second marriage and cohabitation u/s 497 of IPC.

Mere exchange of garland is not sufficient.

The answer is no.
1.Second marriage is invalid if the divorce from first spouse is not obtained.
2.Its is an offence punishable under Indian Penal code.
3.The offender(woman) can be prosecuted for cheating to that other man.
4.Bigamy attracts section 494 of Ipc where the imprisonment may be extended up-to 7 years or fine or both.
5. File a divorce petition under Hindu marriage act and consult a lawyer...
