Yes Inuyasha's dad had two wives. If you read the absolute anime and the wikipedia of Inuyasha, it says that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are only half brothers, they have the same father but different mothers. Inuyasha being a half demon means that he had a full demon youkai for a dad, and a human for a mom. Sesshomaru who is the older half brother had a full demon youkai for a father and a mother. But their dad left Sesshomaru's mom because he fell in love with Inuyasha's mom, who was a human.
