For any act of cruelty and domestic violence against the wife, the wife can always file complaint against the husband under the Protection of the Women from the Domestic Violence Act,2005 with the judicial magistrate in the district court of the area where she is living. The wife can claim the regular maintenance for her, along with the order of residence from the husband and protection order against the husband for keeping away from her and not to inflict domestic violence on the wife.
The issue of keeping two wives at the sametime depends on the religion of the person. The Muslim man can legally have more than one wife (upto 4 wives) at the same time but for man following Hindu or Christian or any other religion keeping a second wife is unlawful and punishable offence u/s 494,495 IPC. The complaint for having another wife during the lifetime of first wife can be reported to the judicial magistrate of the area where she lives by the first wife for offence of bigamy in all cases other than Muslim husband or wife. However to prove the two marriage of the man has to be onus on the wife to prove in the court to get him punished for offence of bigamy.
