You have valid legal rights to protect yourself and ensure justice. Here are the steps you can take: Register Your Marriage: If your marriage was solemnized abroad, you can register it with the Indian Embassy or Consulate. This establishes your marriage's legal validity in India and prevents your husband from claiming he is unmarried. File a Case in India: You can file a case under Muslim Personal Law for maintenance or restitution of conjugal rights, depending on your objectives. Prevent Second Marriage: Under Muslim law, while a man can have multiple marriages, you can challenge this on grounds of cruelty and financial deprivation. If he attempts to remarry without resolving your financial settlement, it strengthens your case for maintenance or other relief. Seek Legal Assistance: File a complaint for domestic abuse or financial fraud if applicable, either in India or the UK, depending on jurisdiction. This could include claims under domestic violence laws. Court Injunction: You can seek an injunction order from the Indian court to prevent him from marrying before resolving your case.

The best solution is to file some case against him in Indian courts, this will automatically help in proving your marriage and also stop him from re-marrying. you can file legal cases against him being in any foreign country. I can help you with that.
