Plural marriage in a state that prohibits it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am in a country that allows me to have multiple wives regardless of the circumstances. What should I do, given that anyone who goes against this ruling is imprisoned and the second wife is forcibly divorced?

Answer:
If you are in a country that does not permit plural marriage, move to a country that does permit it, and strive. If you are able to have multiple wives in a secret manner that they do not know about, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
