NO !
Bigamy is when a person is already married and marries someone else, and the second marriage is void.

Your marriage is not valid. If the person intentionally married you without divorcing their spouse they have committed bigamy.
They are not married.
No. If you didn't know he was already married when you married him, you are not the one who will be charged and prosecuted. But your marriage will not be legal because his previous wife is still his legal wife.
