It is better that you do not admit any knowledge about first marriage anywhere. Give proper details as to what document you signed. Was it registered marriage. . Or an application for registration of a solemnised marriage. In any case it must not be marriage certificate.

You can claim of having no knowledge of his first marriage, otherwise you will be implicated in the complaint filed by his wife. Secondly can initiate complaint before marriage registrar stating that you have got knowledge of his fraud and so you would want your name tobe deleted from witness list.
