Will it intercede for me with my Lord that I married my second wife based on an agreement between us not to spend the night [with her] and not to have children, and is she entitled to retract this agreement and demand justice in spending the night, especially with her claim of not being able to psychologically bear the presence of my first wife, and what should I do in light of her psychological suffering and the deterioration of our marital life, knowing that the marriage was secret, and I fear the consequences of divorce for my children?

Your second wife can retract her waiver of her right to overnight stay, because it is a right that is renewed. Her agreement to marry without the knowledge of your first wife and children does not prevent her from retracting. If she insists on this right, you must then be just between them in what is to come, and you are not obligated to make up for what has passed. It is advised to resolve the disputes between you or separate amicably.
