Under Section 17 of the Hindu Marriage Act, bigamy is punishable Under Section 494 & 495 of the Indian Penal Code.
Section 494 prescribes for imprisonment, which may extend to 7 years and fine.
So a complaint can be lodged against the husband with the police.
and its a valid reason for divorce and maintenance.
