Indonesian term or phrase: Istri Siri
Hello,

Can anyone please help me translate "Istri siri"?
I've tried to find a proper term for that. I didn't think that "second wife" is correct because second wife means that they are legal in the name of the law. While "istri siri" is only deemed "religiously legit", without having the proper rights of a lawful wife.

Many thanks in advance!

Rujukan:
First, sirri wife doesn't get the rights as the legal wife should get, such as the right. . ..
