By law first marriage is valid marriage since registrarion of marriage is not compulsory. But if any of party of that marriage is able to prove that consent was not free and able to draw decree of nullity then your second court marriage will be valid marriage.

You have not stated weather you done your marriage from court of Registrar or in simple affidavit. If it is from court of registrar you can get certified copy of marriage certificate by process.
If it on affidavit it will be available to notery only.

Adjectly, there is no marriage solemnised with you prior to that marriage which took place on 14th may therefore you would be treated as second wife . You can sue in the court for declaration that you are the first wife and the other marriage was made forcibly when they heard the facts about the application applied for marriage. You being the second wife are not legally weded wife of your husband . Your status would remain as second wife.
