Assuming you are hindus, you can procreed with filing a criminal case against your husband under the provisions of the indian penal code.

You can file a case under the charges of adultery combined with cruelty because as per the law of cruelty can even be mental cruelty.

Secondly, if your husband married for the second time,  the second marriage stands null and void before the law. In sinple words, it shall not be considered as a valid marriage.

However, if you want a divorce adultery can be a ground for divorce but divorce is optional and completely your choice.

We have different line of actions depending on the desired outcome. Counselling session with a lawyer is advised to strategize the future course of action. Maintenance , Divorce with Alimony, Domestic Violence Complaint, Right in the matrimonial house, etc. are few actions that can be focused on.
