in case you married during life time of first wife, you have committed an offence of bigamy. though the offence is bailable, but it carries a punishment upto seven years if proved. your wife has to prove that you got married and in case she is not able to prove this factum of second marriage, you might be a free man. the second marriage is void so cannot be legalised.
You may be guilty of bigamy and may suffer criminal prosecution. To legalise your marriage, you may first seek divorce from your first wife.
your second marriage is void and you to go jail for bigamy.
