Bolehkah bakal isteri kedua minta lelaki itu ceraikan isteri pertama dulu?

Tidak boleh — Nabi ﷺ melarang seorang wanita meminta perceraian saudaranya (madunya) supaya dia dapat mengambil tempatnya. Dalam hadis sahih, Baginda bersabda bahawa tidak halal bagi seorang wanita meminta talak saudaranya untuk 'mengosongkan pinggannya', kerana dia hanya mendapat apa yang telah ditakdirkan untuknya. Larangan ini juga terpakai kepada isteri sedia ada yang mendesak suami menceraikan isteri baharu tanpa sebab syarie. Jika ada kezaliman sebenar, jalan yang betul ialah mahkamah, kaunseling atau tuntutan hak sendiri — bukan menuntut orang lain diceraikan. Hormati rumah tangga orang lain sebagaimana anda mahu rumah tangga anda dihormati.

May the prospective second wife ask the man to divorce his first wife first?

No — the Prophet ﷺ forbade a woman to ask for her sister's (co-wife's) divorce so that she might take her place. In an authentic hadith, he said that it is not lawful for a woman to ask for her sister's divorce in order to 'empty her plate', for she will only receive what has been decreed for her. This prohibition also applies to an existing wife who presses her husband to divorce a new wife without a Shariah reason. If there is real injustice, the right route is the court, counselling or claiming one's own rights — not demanding that someone else be divorced. Respect other people's marriages as you want your own marriage respected.
