While the Divine will of Yahweh God is that a man have one wife, as was expressed by Christ, and while that would be the ideal which Christians should uphold, it must be remembered that the Old Testament law did not bar polygamy for men. So that man would have two wives.
If he could afford it and manage to satisfy them both is another matter entirely. If the government permitted it "legally" is also another matter entirely.
The first wife would, of course, have every right to be pissed, LOL.
