Hi,
Second marriage during subsistence of earlier marriage is null and void . Section 17 HMA says that any marriage between Hindus is void if on the date of such marriage, either party had a husband or wife living. The same is punishable under Section 494 and 495, IPC.
You can go for Mutual Divorce option or file petition to nullify your marriage.
Thanks

See, do you have any kids? It will matter the most. As she can claim that you have knowledge of this marriage.

Another weak point from your side is that you are already delay by 15 hours. So, limitation act will be obstruction.

However, you can file petition to nullify marriage in local family court. But you need to convince court for delay and cause of action for nullifying the marriage.
