 Tricky! Personally I would (if i were your sister) file for divorce with the reason for it being... that he has remarried someone else, and go from there. And, I would take him to the cleaners.

 Question, Does your religion/culture allow bigamy in a marriage, where a man can have up to four wives? Are you and your sister United Arab Emirates or are you from India? Which is your culture based in?
Depending on what your culture is bigamy/polygamy could be legal to where a man is allowed up to four wives. I would check out a lawyer just in case, there are plenty on the internet that will give you a free consultation on whether your sister can get a divorce or not and how she would go about that.
I'm assuming your sister wants the divorce and maybe there is a way to go about getting one even if polygamy/bigamy is allowed in your culture/religion.

Hi there. Who is we? Why do you have to cope with this? I think its your sister who should make the decisions. If you love her then just support her in her decision. She has to decide if he is worth holding onto or not. If she is a traditional Indian, chances are she will leave it as it is because of the stigma of divorce. Whatever it is, it as to be her choice because this is her life. And it an be painful for the family to look on. Help her build her own life and maybe just maybe that could give her the confidence to do what is good for herself.Have a magical life!
