At a high level, that issue becomes irrelevant - the first wife would be his legal and only wife in the eyes of civil law, whereas in the scenario I described, the 2nd wife would be his legal wife according to Islamic law and she could get a pre-nuptial document stating that he agrees to treat her according to the laws of Islam in all aspects regarding marital law, inheritance, blah blah blah, who has binding arbitration rights to resolve disputes and what penalty he would be subject to if he broke the agreement.

I think it would depend on the woman he wants to marry, and the living arangement. I think I would insist on seperate living quarters. He would also have to be able to support both of us. I'm not sure how I would feel if my income were used to support her family. I'm not 100% opposed to the idea.

Yeah, say there were two separate houses, and he's using his own income to support the two, and each wife's income [if applicable] is being used only by herself.
And again, I'm only talking about women who are widows [due to war or something] or divorcees with kids who may have a hard time getting by because of social stigma.
Who here would have a problem if her husband had a big heart and out of compassion, decided to support another woman or two?
