We advise you to keep both your wives and to be just between them, and to clarify the impermissibility of a woman requesting the divorce of her co-wife. If you are able to bring your Egyptian wife and be just between them in terms allocation of time, then do so. If you are unable to, then divorce is permissible for you, and the determination of which wife to divorce is up to you, based on what is more beneficial and beloved to you.
