Though his first wife is not objected, he will be punishable u/S495 for remarries when his wife is not divorced and alive.

Sorry, read as his first wife

Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 08 June 2023
No, only his first wife can initiate the proceedings u/sec 494/495 IPC against her husband and none others.

Dr. J C Vashista (Expert) 08 June 2023
Only first wife can move complaint, if she has any objection and personal law do not allow, which is not there in the instant case.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 10 June 2023
If the first wife is stating that she had already expressed her no objection in writing in this regard then there is no case maintainable, however if he is a government employee, then it will attract departmental action for this misconduct act of the employee.
