At the time of your marriage you are not his lawful wife and hence the marriage is void.
To correct this mistake get a marriage registered on any date after death of his first wife and then apply for his family pension.

How can you have married certificate earlier? That means you have misrepresented the facts. For sake of family pension, the employee has to nominate his wife for receiving pension. To whom he has nominated? who is the legally wedded wife in the service records of your husband? If your name is registered in the service records, since the first wife is died, you will be entitled for family pension.

I agree with expert Mr. Malipeddi Jagga Rao's views on the subject. Verify from the service records as to who was nominated as wife in he service records to receive family pension and then proceed with the ideas suggested by experts.

If your husband renominated your name in the service records and replaced your name with her name, it is a valid nomination and you are legally eligible and entitled to his family pension. without giving any extra details about his previous wife and other things voluntarily, send an application to the authorities seeking family pension by just enclosing your husband's death certificate and your identity proof, wait for their reply and after that if you are required to submit any other document or to comply with any other formality in this regard, adhere to it and get the benefit of family pension.
