Your husband cannot remarry without take divorce from you. If he has married other women during your life time with out take divorce from you, he has committed a criminal offence of Bigamy etc. And you can file criminal as well as civil case against him and his second wife.

A Christian cannot re marry unless he or she is a widow/widower or divorcee. The procedure for marriages in India is stringent to an extent but unfortunately not executed properly and that’s the reason people manage to marry legally more than once. Any way you should file for domestic violence and restitution of conjugal rights or divorce your husband and charge him for polygamy as soon as possible.
