Question Summary:
I married the girl I liked through skype after being forced to marry my cousin.

Question Detail:

I got my Nikkah done without my parents consent is my Nikkah valid? I was 24 years old at the time and my wife was 20. Neither my parents nor did the parents of my wife knew of this marriage. The Nikkah was performed on the internet via skype, the imam who performed the Nikkah was aware of the situation. The imam was designated as a Wali on her consent there were two other male witness present at the time of Nikkah.
Her parents were not giving consent because they wanted consent from my parents first. i was forced into marriage with my cousin in pakistan by my parents and when I came back to the US i stayed in contact and married the girl i wanted while remaining married to my cousin.
I have a child with my cousin and do not like her at all. She doesn't mean anything to me. I want to leave her because I am only with her for the sake of my parents and I do not have any physical relationship wiith her, she just lives in my house. the girl who i wanted to marry told her parents about her marriage to me and they forced me to say talaq 3 times and said that our marriage was invalid to begin with.
can you please advise me on what I should do and can you tell me whether my nikkah is valid or not. 

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Before we answer your query, it is important to understand the implications your actions might have on your family and the families of the other two girls if you continue with these relationships as they are.
Islam has granted us the right to nikah as a means to secure our chastity and establish a connection with our spouses. It is a relationship formed through love and mutual understanding between the husband and the wife. If one does not value this gift from Allah Ta'ālā, it could bring catastrophic results for both the husband and the wife. In your case, not only did you consummate your marriage with your wife, you were also blessed with a child through her. Before making any further decisions in regards to your first marriage, you should consider the future of your wife and your child and contemplate over the following points:
Who will take care of the child?
How will the child live a life without love from both a mother and a father?
How will this impact your family and hers?
Have you considered your wife's feelings in this matter and the mental suffering she must be experiencing from knowing that her husband does not want to be with her or the child?
How will you answer to Allah Ta'ālā in the divine courts if you leave your child and simultaneously earn the anger of your parents? Irrespective of the pressure from your parents to marry your cousin, the fact is you got married to her. By your choice and will, why should she suffer?
What type of impact will this have on the second girl; physically and emotionally?
How will you deal with her family and relatives?
Can you ensure her happiness in the future without the support of her parents and close family members?
 
In regards to your original query, we will need you to further elaborate on the following before we issue any ruling:
 
(1) What were the details of the Skype nikah?
(2) What words were used to perform the nikah by the Imam?
(3) You stated "they forced me to say talaq 3 times". What happened afterwards? Did you say talaq three times? If yes, what words did you use to do so?
 
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
