Marriage to a Second Wife Without Informing the First

Question
What is the ruling on marrying a second wife without informing the first wife?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible to inform the first wife if someone wishes to marry a second wife, but after the marriage is confirmed, it is necessary to be aware; so that he can be just and fulfill the rights and shares of each wife. And God knows best.
