My guess would be the woman didn't know. I've known two cases in which Middle Eastern males married US women as second wives. Neither woman knew they were a second wife. One moved to Egypt with her new husband, only to be introduced to his first wife upon arrival. That marriage didn't last.
It's been a while since I read the data but I think arranged marriages carried out in the USA where divorce laws are liberal last longer than chosen marriages. Of course the subculture of arranged marriage likely frowns upon divorce.
