Can I block my hubby's upcoming wedding?

Photo; Courtesy

Dear Harold,

Thank you for your detailed legal explanation that marrying while in a statutory marriage amounts to bigamy – a marital offence. I am a possible victim as my husband intends to marry a woman he has been in a relationship with for three years. I feel betrayed and want to know whether it is possible to block their planned marriage and subsequent issuance of a marriage certificate. We got married in a garden wedding and have a valid marriage certificate. Lillian, Kisumu.
