In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
In order for us give an accurate answer to your query it is required that you clarify the following ambiguities:
1.) Who took the promise you or your wife?
2.) What were the exact words used for taking the promises (mention each promise that was made)?
3.) What words were used when you promised the other girl that you will marry her?
4.) Do you still intend to have the second marriage?
We hope that your reply will fully answer the above mentioned question we have, JazakAllah.
And Allah knows best
Wassalamu Alaikum
