Hiding the Second Marriage and Not Being Just Between Wives

Question
I am a woman married to a married man, and before the marriage, he told me that the marriage would be secret only from his family. I asked him how long it would be secret, and he said for a short period. Unfortunately, the first wife discovered it and caused severe problems to the extent that he divorced me without my knowledge and did not tell me: 'You are divorced' and did not inform my family about this divorce. After three months, he came back and reconciled with me, and the marriage continued to be secret from his wife and is still secret. I have a son who is eleven years old, and I have been asking for a divorce for a while, but he refuses. My husband is a mosque imam and a teacher for the primary stage. As for care and attention, we do not receive our share of care or attention, and there are no expenses; all of that goes to his first wife. How should I act in this situation? He does not want to divorce me, and there are three brothers from my husband's family who are aware of our marriage and visit us, while all my family and relatives know about our marriage. What should I do in this situation?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: secret marriage is a big mistake, and this is its price. You should involve your family and his family, who are virtuous, to resolve the predicament by making your marriage public to everyone. He must grant you all your rights, even if it requires legal action; this is your right, and you have the right to demand it. And God knows best.
