in UK
instant divorce, no maintenance, If they register the marriage, in case of divorce they risk loosing half their possessions
2nd, 3rd 4th without any chance of being charged with bigamy (in countries where its illegal.
It can get very ugly when it all comes out
1n 2004, I came across case of a 34 year old Birmingham Mullah, who married 2nd wife (a loose woman) in secret, she promptly embarked on an affair with his male secretary and got impregnated, all this ended with murders of two men some gang warfare and humiliation for whole of Muslim community. (dang Mullah is still alive and we have his lectures on this very site)

had that man followed the law of land 2 or more people would still be alive and all that intrigue and fitnah could have been avoided
