You have to implement IValidatableObject interface in your model and add method Validate in your model.

public IEnumerable<ValidationResult> Validate(ValidationContext validationContext)
{
      List<ValidationResult> validationResults = new List<ValidationResult>();

      if (string.Equals(this.Email1,this.Email2,StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
      {
          validationResults.Add(new ValidationResult(ErrorMessage.EmailError, new string[] { "Email ID" }));
      }

      return validationResults;
}

Or You can create the custom dataannotation as per your requirement. Please refer below URL.
