Marriages among Muslims are guided by Muslim Personal law and hence none of the two marriages would be invalid because as per this law a Muslim man can have as many as four wives. However you can file a case that you were uninformed or misinformed about the previous marriage of your husband under section 406 of IPC, that is, breach of trust and section 420 of IPC for committing fraud.
