Informing the First Wife About the Second Marriage

Question
Is it required to inform the first wife about the marriage when marrying a second wife?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not required for the husband to inform the first wife of his marriage, but he should not conceal it from her after it occurs, in order to achieve fairness between his wives, and he should not act in a way that raises suspicion. And God knows best.
