Ur marriage was under special marriage act .As both of u were from different caste and religion without conversion u married him that is a fact .
You left religion as u like the Muslim gay in ur words.
Now he being Muslim is entitle to marry 4 and keep 4 wife at one time
U have no right to claim monopoly but under Muslim law there are certain provisions for subsequent marriage and it appears that you have scope from facts as u stated.

Yes you have the right to file a complaint against your husband along with your in laws . Since you have solemnized marriage with him under special mařiage act you have the right to be looked after along with your daughter . And also its criminal breach of trust along with cheating and various other sections can be imposed on him . Definately the law will take him behind the bars. If you need and assistance please revert .
