Your husband may be guilty of "bigamy" and your family may be guilty as his accompalice in the crime. You may not be entitled to file any case against her. better you stay cool and wait for further action. It may be better if your man reach an amicable settlement with her and persuade her for mutual consent divorce. She may be entitled to adequate compensation.
