You can always go for a second marriage without the permission of a first wife, the nikkahkhwa will solemnised the marriage certificate and the union council will also attest the nikkahnama. The problem arises when the first wife approaches the court, you can be fined upto 2 lacs, imprisonment is rare but there is a risk factor. The best available option is to obtain permission from the union council beforehand with certain reason like the first wife is not capable of bearing any child or is unobedient.
