Bigamy

I am looking for a word in English.

As you know, in some countries it is legal to have several wives.

when a man has two wives, what does one of his wife call her husband's the other wife?

For example when Jack has two wives, Liza and Mary.

when mary is refering to Liza. what does she call her?

Mary says: My--------(husband's the other wife=Liza) is very idiot.

I hope I could convey the concept I am looking for.

Thanks all

S. this season about a polygamous family that includes a husband and 3 wives, and he is about to add a 4th. The wives refer to each other as "sister wives," which is, apparently, the custom among multiple wives in the Fundamentalist Mormon religion.

There is a new TV show in the U.S. this season about a polygamous family that includes a husband and 3 wives, and he is about to add a 4th. The wives refer to each other as "sister wives," which is, apparently, the custom among multiple wives in the Fundamentalist Mormon religion. The name of the show is, "Sister Wives."

I'm not certain what the customs are in the rest of the world.
