It's possible that you could qualify for an annulment based on fraud, but the courts in Maryland tend to prefer divorce to annulment. Whether or not what he has done is enough for a finding of "extremely vicious" conduct that would qualify for a divorce, I'm not sure.
Of course, if there's another child that turns up, one that was conceived after your marriage, that's pretty solid proof of adultery, which will get you a divorce without a waiting period (other than the time the case takes to get through the court system.
