The answer

The parents do not have the right to order their son to divorce his righteous wife, and he is not obligated to obey them in this matter. The husband did well by informing his second wife about the existence of another wife and children. It is recommended to document the marriage contract at the embassy or have trustworthy individuals witness it, to ensure rights and prevent disputes.
