If your husband was still legally married to another woman at the time of your marriage, then in the eyes of the law your marriage is null and void. In other words, it is as though it never happened. What you'll have to do is to re-marry. Since there may be other legal formalities to consider, you really should consult directly with a local attorney as to your situation.
