I know a person having a wife and two kids. He did love marriage and still loves his wife too. But he also loves another girl even before his marriage. Whats wrong if he want to have two wives?????
His wife knows about his another love affair but still living with him becoz they love each other. And he on the other hand didnt leave the other girl for the sake of his wife? this means he also loves that girl. And that girl also knows about his wife and kids and she also cant leave him becoz both love each other.
Where is the real problem. as this is not that simple matter
any advice for any of party involved?

I have reproduced your discussion with a few changes. What is your opinion on this. My opinion on your discussion is the same as that:

Her husband knows about her another love affair but still living with him becoz they love each other.

So that means to a man the answer is Maybe, maybe, maybe and to a woman No, No, No.
A woman cannot love two people because of the complications, but the man can think about it as he is in love with two people.
This is more or less like the Islam way of thinking.
In Sri Lanka during ancient times polyandry was practised with sometimes all the brothers marrying one woman. There were advantages in this as in times of war the children will not loose their father because they have more than one father. There were no complications or problems in this system, as it is commonly known that men can get on together than two women getting on together.

This is even more complicated than one i quoted here, as a man can keep more than one women but how a woman can keep more than one man? What about their kids than? Who will decide which kid belong to which man? or kids will belong to all three of them? ?????/?//???

Woman can love more than one person. But she can keep only one man at a time.

Thats what they want but her wife doesnt permit him. In that case she said keep one, whether me or her. And he cant let anyone of them to go.

If all parties agree then it is fine, but I personally would never get involved with a man who is in love with another. I want someone whi is only in love with me, and I will only love him.
Also, in some cultures multiple marriage is more acceptable. Not in Canada where I am, though.
If all parties agree, that is fine, but if not, then it is wrong. I'd never do it.

When they are all happy know whats going on they who are we to say what is good and what is bad.according to quran “Marry women of your choice, two, or three, or four; but if ye fear that
ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one.”
In Western society, it is common for a man to have mistresses and/or multiple
extra-marital affairs, in which case, the woman leads a disgraceful, unprotected
life. The same society, however, cannot accept a man having more than one
wife, in which women retain their honourable, dignified position in society and
lead a protected life.
Thus the only two options before a woman who cannot find a husband is to
marry a married man or to become 'public property'. Islam prefers giving
women the honourable position by permitting the first option and disallowing the
second.
There are several other reasons, why Islam has permitted limited polygyny, but
it is mainly to protect the modesty of women.

They all know whats going on but His wife is not agreed and not going to allow him for second marriage. She said she will prefer to leave if he try to bring another woman as his wife. And on other hand the other lady is concerned to have place in his relationships as early as possible as she also need to have honourable and happy life.

as far as i know the bible speaks of this as being adultry and that is one of the comandments, you took a vow with your wife when you married.that vow should not be broken.also what self respectin persin would want to be a third in a marriage god intended marriage to be between one man and one woman.

But third person was there even before that marriage. Can this be justified to blame that person for where she is now? And she at this stage cant step back. Its hurting. And one more thing that guy doenst want to let her go either.
