second marriage during subsitence of first marriage is illegal . second wife has no rights on share in husband property . however the children born out of said marriage have rights on the property .
as far as proof of first marriage is concened you must be having wedding photographs .marriage invitation card .
although marriage may not be regd your father must have netered her name in ration card , election commission card etc .
