Well if she knew - that the man is already married - she can be booked in as an abettor who intentionally aided the perofrmance of illegal act (i.e bigamous marriage) 109 r/w 494 if she did not - there is no reason to attribute criminality to her - in which case Husband becomes liable for aggravated form of bigamy punishable u/s 495.

If B is in knowledge of first marriage, she can be an abettor to the crime.
