Your husband's second marriage without divorce is illegal under Hindu Marriage Act. It is a criminal offence under Indian law as bigamy. You can file a police complaint. If you agree to mutual divorce, ensure you receive fair alimony/settlement. Consult a family lawyer before signing anything to protect your legal and financial rights.
