no, it is not a solution. why to start searching and manually modifying the diagram?it is very non-flexible and even hard.. i have the huge diagrams, and cat do that manually.

And let there be an option. i.e. If it is not appealing for you, for me - it is a good solution. Let there should be a checkbox - if user wants, disables the dotted line for second marriage. But, by default, let it be a different lines.
Even, in the above picture, i have indicated, that they are wife1 and wife2, but on the program diagram, there appears only people's names, and it is even hard to know only by names, if wife1 and wife2 may be a husband-wife (because sometimes male and female names are not easy to diversify). so, i think, that it is essential to diversify the second marriage.

The problem with your solution, Appleshaw, is that if child1 and child2 have a family, it is difficult to hang their children off them (the pedigree link would intersect the second marriage line).
I have always used the case1 solution and have had no problems with anyone understanding it. Using case2 (different coloured dotted line) to me indicates that the relationship with "wife2" is something other than a marriage.
I guess at the end of the day, it's whatever each person finds visually appealing.

You need to modify the diagram and then it can be quite clear.

hi.
i think it is very problematic. When someone had two wives, for example like in this case1 .
it is hard to determine, if the child2 or child3 or child4, who was their mother? it is not an easy to say directly, because there is a straight line.
i think, it is better, that the diagram should be like the case2:
with the first wife, the line should be a bit thick, and with the second wife, there should be a different colored dotted line + with her children.
