as your marriage is registered, he cannot deny that you not his wife. you may claim all your rights under the law viz. maintenance, compensation, residence etc.
You do not need to do anything to enjoy your married life. In case he is refusing to take you in the matrimonial home or continue relationship with you, you may consider seeking appropriate legal action - criminal as well as civil - for damages, compensation, etc. It is an offence constituting "cruelty" to leave your spouse without reasonable cause; punishable under section 498-A of I.P.C. The offence is also covered under D.V.A. You need to be clear in your mind as to the course of action you may want to adopt.
