I feel somewhere the fact that he was married to Imlie hit him the hardest on the day before and the day he married Malini. When his father explained to him that when you do all the rituals of marriage, it creates a sense of responsibility towards the other as you are bonded by things like the sacred fire, MS & sindoor. It makes you connected with the other for life. That entire time he flashed back to his marriage with Imlie. Though forced, he chose to think it to be illegal because it helped him stick to his commitment to Malini.
But his sense of responsibility towards Imlie at every step, till his marriage with Malini and even after shows that subconsciously he felt that it was real enough to want to protect her and ensure she was safe. That was why he was uneasy during his wedding day when he could not spot her, left his mandap to find her when she went missing, beat up the guy that was misbehaving with her and was even willing to go and tell the truth to Malini so that they could deal with the aftermath.
So he wanted to believe that the marriage was illegal, to justify not doing anything to change the status quo with Imlie and be able to protect her and nibhao his zimmedari to both Imlie & Malini, without feeling that he was cheating either of them.
