Do not make the same mistakes he has made.
Don't marry a man who is able to have four wives.
That tradition is because in past history there were more women than men.
His second wife's family might have money and your dad received some type of dowry from her family.
Usually but not always, marriage is the marriage of checkbooks.

You should go over to your dad and tell him that if he doesn't tell your step mom, you'll have to do it. She deserves to know the truth whether or not he can have four wives. Then she can act accordingly. But you owe it to your step mom. Seriously, I would want to know-even if it was from my daughter!
Good Luck.

Well your dad is a better man than me, I had enough trouble with one wife.
But to be serious, I assume you live in US, well bigamy, is illegal.
Well in most places?
So if he wants four wives, best thing for him to do is to move back to Jordan, if his wives want to go with him fine.
If not they can get on with their life in US.
You might miss him? but contact the authorities, he should not be in your country

Talk to your Dad tell him he needs to tell your step mother so she can divorce him and move on with another man. He is being unfair to her. Tell your Dad if he is not willing to tell your step mom then you will.

I wouldn't upset your step-mom with this news if he hasn't shared it with her. However if you are comfortable and able to speak with your dad about how it makes you feel then I would suggest that you speak with him about it instead.

in that culture, its okay to have more than one wife right?
that's okay.
for example, its okay to talk loudly and rudely over the phone in america but not in japan.

i WOULD THINK THE STEP MOM KNOW THAT IN HIS COUNTRY HE CAN REMARRY RIGHT? SO SHE PROBABLY KNOW HE HAS OTHER WIVES.
