Start the game with RoI and play as Maharaja Vikramaditya IV of Kalyani Chalukya Kingdom (Maharastra) in 1081. Here he is with his wife (and note, no concubines):

But it turns out this woman isn't the mother of your child. If you click on the child, you'll see he has a different mother. If you click on her, you see this:

Another wife, who's still very much alive. Both women are called Maharani of Maharastra in the game dialogue. Both wives also produce babies, both are treated as official wives (and not concubines), except that the latter can't be killed via a plot. As you can see from the screenshot, the option to assassinate her is greyed off.
This is probably a bug, but if the Maharaja is meant to have two wives, I feel that a better UI might be needed to view them. At the moment, this extra wife is only visible if you click on her child (the Rajkumar) to see his parents.
Im not sure of this is related, but I also got a similar bug with a Muslim ruler who converted to Zoroastrianism. His three Muslim secondary wives disappeared from the ruler's list of spouses (and didn't reappear as concubines). This didn't stop them from producing the ruler's children at regular intervals and the children were viewed as if they'd been born by legitimate secondary wives. You couldn't divorce these extra wives, because officially they weren't your wives anymore, but to all purposes they still functioned as such.
