The answer

If the question is about the permissibility, from a Shariah perspective, of searching for a second wife before divorcing the first, then marrying more than one woman (two, three, or four) is permissible according to Islamic law, as stated in the Holy Quran. This is possible, and searching for such a marriage is not forbidden. As for the legal aspect, legal experts should be consulted.
