I think the best thing to do,is to have conversations about this with first wife BEFORE you have found,and desire to marry a second wife. The first few time's my husband and I spoke of this,I was sad that he may in time,if he wanted,to marry a second wife. Then as time went by,I became more accostomed to the idea,and now,even welcome it.  My husband is very wise,and would only marry a good,kind,and gentle second wife,and would make sure that she is respectful,loving and kind to me.,and to him.I am older than he,and can not have children.I would welcome a second wife as my sister.

Yahya in LA.  From one Bros to another after reading you're comment, I'd just like to say a few things:

You're awesome and if I knew you personally I'd give you a high five.

Yahya,

In islam, you do not have to marry legally, you can marry by doing Halal only. Your second wife will not get your name but you can recongnise your children.

I think you need to seek permission from your first wife to do so before going for it. You need to make sure both are happy and that you can afford both of them as well.

I suggest you seek the advise of an Imam before doing anything.

Salam brother,

Muslima

In Islam you are supposed to follow the legal laws of where you live. Therefor in a non Muslim country it is Illegal to marry more than one, you need to follow the LAWS where you live!!! Otherwise you give the Muslim communtiy the appearance of ignoring the law and trying to allways work around it. Please be responsible people!!
You cant be a good muslim if you are not decent and have a cold heart. Be a decent and kind person and care for women and children and the elderly.

Jenni,

I am sorry but if i want to marry a Muslim, I do not have to have a legal marriage. i can simply do Halal. Even if I am the only wife.

Muslima,

In some states, polygamy can be prosecuted even if there is no legal marriage to the second wife.  Utah laws are set up that way.  I think Arizona, Idaho, and Nevada are too.  He can to a halal only marriage.  But he would be breaking the law in MOST states.  It would do neither wife any good for him to be in jail for breaking the anti-polygamy laws.
