The answer

You must sever your relationship with the girl to whom you are bound [by marriage contract to another man], because enticing her to separate from her husband is considered takhbib, which is forbidden in Islamic law. It is one of the great sins and an act of sorcerers and devils. You must repent to Allah and abstain from the unlawful by enjoying what is lawful. If you need another wife, then pursue lawful means, while observing the condition of justice.
