Can i get my marriage annulled ?


11-Jan-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I got married 3 years ago with a girl and 3 months ago i came to know she was already married with someone else and did not get divorce. under section 12(c) False misrepresentation. It states that we can file the case only within 1 year of marriage. I have searched for the answer everywhere but could not find a clear answer. Please help me clarifying this. We have no children and we have been living as husband and wife since marriage.
