For maintainance and custody you can file proceeding under section 125 of crpc for maintenance and as for as the marriage is concerned you can initiate proceeding on the ground of bygamy. The maintainace is right of a women no matter whatever religion she follows and the husband is duty bound to maintain his wife and children financially and socially
