Divorcing one's second wife due to family problems
Question
Can a wife ask her husband to divorce his second wife as the nikah was done in secrecy and now there a lot of problems due to it and constant fighting among the couple.

The other way to end the problems is to announce the second wife.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
