If you and your husband are Hindu by religion then your husband has committed a bigamy which is punishable under law. Lodge a case against him if you have enough proof to show his wrong. Law doesn't permit him to get marry second time when the first wife is alive and without divorcing the first wife. Consult an advocate and take action
