The answer

If the first wife was rebellious (nashiz) or prevented him from entering, then she is not entitled to compensation for the elapsed period, and he should resume the division of nights among his wives, because she forfeited her right. However, if she was not rebellious (nashiz) and he wronged her by abandoning her, then he must compensate her for the period, but spread out and not exceeding three consecutive days at a time.
