The second marriage is not void.

2nd marriage is valid.

1st wife can claim maintenance only, until she gets remarried.

thats all.

@ querist You have nothing to worry except maint. as noted by Amit . Here is sec15 hma

"15. Divorced persons when may marry again.

When a marriage has been dissolved by a decree of divorce an either there is no right of appeal against the decree or, if there is such right of appeal, the time for appealing has expired without an appeal having been presented, or an appeal has been presented but has been dismissed it shall be lawful for either party to the marriage to marry again. "
