Girl already married and cheated my hiding the previous marriage


13-Feb-2023 (In Divorce Law)
We got married 2017 and the girl was already married by 2014. She hid the previous marriage and did not get divorce as well. I have filed a divorce case for null and void. But I also would like to claim damage and needs the family to get punished for spoiling my life. Can anyone suggest me what to do now.
