Its been good to see so many different points of views, most of them pretty valid and reflection of real life stories.
At least one thing can be established that its good practice for husband to consult first wife in order to marry a second one to find out her feelings about it first. Yes its true statistically that most women will not consent to that, situations like these especially when children are also involved if the husband has made up his mind then the first wife has no choice but either to live the rest of her life being miserable or seek divorce.
Many a times we have noticed that such men who violate the shariah laws do not find happiness after marrying second time and gain nothing more than misery for themselves.
One must not forget that this world is not meant to be heaven for any one. We will all be tested different ways. If husband and wife fall apart for some time which is not so uncommon they should find different ways to sort out relationships as well as pray to God for harmony. It may take time even much longer time but honest efforts, prayers and accepting taqdeer ( fate ) does help. Doing dua in your prayers gives you peace of mind and divine guidance to resolve the differences.
Its no doubt that we all know the difference between good and bad. Our subconcience can always guide us in the right direction provided we are wholeheartedly keen to follow the right path of Islam then this can further be strengthened by looking at the shariah laws on the matter.  Permission or no permission I personally dont see the need for this debate to continue any further as enough has been said in terms of personal experiences and shariah laws to form a doubtless and conclusive opinion. Islam has only encouraged one wife, the choice of having a second wife should only be practiced under very exceptional circumstances. Children can only grow up with a balanced personality if the home is a heavenly place both parents are fulfilling their responsibilities with complete harmony.[/quote]
