If by giving consent, her sister is saved from sin and poverty and staying single and not becoming a mother, then what a Mustahab act can you find better than sharing your husband with her?
have a look a these narrations:
 بإسناده عن عليّ عليه السلام قال قال رسول اللّه صلّى اللّه عليه و آله كتب اللّه الجهاد على رجال أُمّتى، والغيرة
على نساء أُمّتى، فمن صبرت منهنّ واحتسبت أعطاها اللّه أجر شهيد

"On the authority of Ali (peace be upon him), he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) said: Allah has prescribed jihad for the men of my nation, and Ghayrat(jealousy about having a co-wife) for the women of my nation. So whoever among them is patient and endures with the intention of seeking reward, Allah will grant her the reward of a martyr.
العدة ، عن البرقي ، عن محمد بن الحسن ، عن يوسف بن حماد ، عمن ذكره ، عن جابر قال: قال أبو جعفر عليه السّلام : "غيرة النساء الحسد و الحسد هو أصل الكفر إن النساء إذا غرن غضبن و إذا غضبن كفرن إلا المسلمات منهن".
The jealousy of women is envy, and envy is the root of disbelief. When women become jealous, they become angry, and when they become angry, they disbelieve, except for the believing women among them."

Of course everyone should know that it's not obligatory for you to give consent and it's better that men understand their wives' emotions and as long as the first wife has not fully given her consent they don't go for the second. because they should not ruin the first life for helping another sister.
All said above are recommendations and not obligations

Salaamun Alaykum

I refer you to the Qur'an 41:31 and 43:71 where we are told that in Jannah we will be given "whatever we desire". This is a generic reply to all queries about Jannah and the rewards waiting there.

In addition, I would also point out that we should not expect the next life to be like this life. Yes, there are similarities between this life and the next, but the next life is essentially different. And so any description in the Qur'an is an allegory, not meant to be the complete picture, but rather an allegory intended to increase our yearning for the reward that God has promised the righteous.

And God knows best.

May He include us in His ultimate Mercy

 

Husband must treat his wives equally no matter from what background they come from. The respect for Sayyida wife is must but it does not mean at all discriminating his other wife or ignoring justice in treating her. Practical justice in compulsory otherwise no permission to marry more than wife without practical justice between them.

Wassalam.

Bismihi ta'ala

This is a Qur`anic law that all Muslims must believe in, every sect, that it is permissible, with its required conditions.
