It's not punishable under Muslim Law
Under Muslim Law, a husband is allowed to have four wives at a time, however, one of the hadith says that he should seek his previous wife's permission before marrying again. While this is not mandatory, it is advisable to do so. Living or non-living of wife together has no bearing on it.
If you do not treat the two wives equally, any of the wives feeling non-equal treatment is entitled to divorce on grounds of cruelty under the1937 Act.
