Secret nikaah

Q: I recently married my cousin on request of my parents and so that our families stay connected and to obey my mother. But before that I sent a rishta/proposal to a girl that I liked but her family didn’t agreed.

Now after my marriage, that girl is asking me to marry her but I fear my that family and wife won’t agree to it. What should I do? What is the Islamic way to proceed in this matter? If I marry her and keep that a secret is it justified?

A: I suggest that you don't think about a secret marriage. If you are happy in this marriage then don't create problems for yourself.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
