Bismillah It is possible but extremely difficult if you are not financially well off. The concept of polygomy is being frowned upon due to miss use by some section. For this reason, scholar always says to speak to first wife and in addition unless one is able to provide seperate facilities and being fair, it is not advisable to have a second wife. In france or in italy, there are mistresses and rarely have long term security. Atleast in polygomy in theory at least provides a legitimacy and finaicial rights. This taboo of second wife has to be done away with and only people found to be suitable should consider marrying. Perhaps a consultatitive process is what is needed. Allahualam
