Please help

Sir, My name is safina , a sunni muslim from Maharastra, i met a kashmiri guy a year before and we planned to get married but due to his parents pressure he had to marry a girl there, now he is back again but we still want to get married to him. I would like to know about the legal procedure or what does Indian constitution says on Muslim second marriage and what are things that we need keep in mind while the guy is getting married for second time . His first wife is a muslim and their marriage was according to Nikha nama and other muslim rules

Muslim men are allowed to keep 4 wifes one at a time. So if he has married a girl earlier, he is still eligible to get married a second time. However, I understand the consent of the 1st wife to take a 2nd wife in marriage must be obtained for the sake of harmonious married life.
