In an answer one scholar's question Ml. Ashraf Ali Thanvi rahimahullah replied, "Yes indeed, there is great joy in two marriages, however, this joy is like the paradise which requires one to cross a fine bridge (siaat). 

When I did my second marriage, then people from family of my first marriage started saying that you have now open the way for men to conduct a second marriage.
