Husband is already married and concealed the fact, please advise


25-Jan-2023 (In Muslim Law Law)
I have been married since a year. My husband cheated on me and married me without telling me that he is already married and has 2 kids. His first wife is a Hindu and is staying in his parents home and not ready for divorce. We both married through the special marriage act. He is a Hindu and I am a Muslim. Can I claim maintenance or property from him? Can his wife file a case against him anytime regarding this or case will not be taken if a certain time period is over?Please help me with a advice.
