John has a wife. He does not like her and divorces her. He then marries another woman.

He has commited adultery.

Bill has a wife. He does not like her but does not divorce her. He then takes another wife. THIS IS NOT ADULTERY?

According to the OT that would be wrong, not because he married another wife, but because he did not "like" her. If he marries a second wife, but loves them both and shows no favoritism, then that is not adultery.

Again, maybe it's not something you or I like or would do...but I didn't write the book.
