The answer

There is no harm for a woman in accepting marriage from a man who proposes to her, even if he is married to another, and there is no harm for him in marrying her, even if his first wife is displeased, as long as there is no impediment to their union. The wife does not have the right to demand divorce merely because her husband married another, unless she has suffered harm, such as injustice or hardship in living. It is recommended for a man to inform his wife of his desire to marry another and clarify to her that her rights are preserved. If the wife is not pleased, there is no harm for him in marrying.
