Definitely I'd one has no objection in sharing the revenue earned by penion or retirement benefits.
As at present you didn't get any benifits or pension as the matter not settled.

Hi
Pension and gratuity cannot be paid to second wife in any circumstances.
Only the first wife and the legal heirs (first wife's children and second wife's children) can claim pension and gratuity.
