You have committed the offence of bigamy by marrying again without divorcing your first wife. Your marriage with the second wife is void and not legally valid.If your first wife lodges an FIR you will be behind the bars.There is only one way and that is to get divorce without revealing to the court about your second marriage. For that take your first wife in confidence any how and go for mutual divorce. Be in touch for more suggestion.
