If you can afford the second marriage, you can do so, it is not unlawful, but maintaining justice with both the wives is necessary as the Quran mentions it in Surah Nisa. You should seek the consent of parents for second marriage as well, it is better. But, if you can not do justice with both the wives, you should not proceed to do nikah.
