"Pastor, 60, marries his pregnant teenage girlfriend — and his wife doesn’t mind

Thom Miller, 60, is now building a massive home for his two brides— 44-year-old Belinda Miller and 19-year-old Reba Kerfootruba — in the US state of Ohio. ............................

..........................Thom and Belinda were married for seven years before Belinda suggested introducing another woman into the family. .................................."

Is "brides" used correctly in that sentence? Emotion: thinking

I wouldn't say the word 'bride' is incorrect, but it is usually used only for a very recently married woman. A more common word here would be 'wives'.
