Question -1 Why does Wikipedia mention devika as the first wife of Yudhishtir?
Answer- I have no idea why does Wikipedia mention devika as first wife of Yudhishtir . For a fact of matter any body can go and edit Wikipedia pages. As per authentic translation it was no where mentioned that exactly when yudhishthir married devika probably he married with her after establishing indraprastha because no father can give his daughter to prince who have nothing... Therefore , it must be known to drupad in case such events took place before pandavs married draupadi. But it's mysterious to know that Devika presence in indraprastha or Hastinapur were no where mentioned in epic.

Question-2 Does govasena hate devika ?
Answer- Devika was Daughter of govasana of shibi lineage shibi was famous king and son of usinara he was famous for his charity. I think sivi King dom was named after him . It was part of North Western region and part of the larger alliance of North Western kingdom's whose leaders were jayadratha the king of Sindhu souvira Sindhu , sivi , madra khamboja , kekeya , trigarta , Gandhara are all from noth western province located near Sindhu rivers and the land five rivers . Mahabharat all of them fight for kouravs including govasena himself . Only five kekaya brothers who were cousins of krishna fought on behalf of pandavs . We don't see any mention of Yudhishtir and devika son youdheya any where else . It's doesn't mean govasena was against of their marriage maybe sivi kingdom has given any kind of promise to them....like shalya

Question-3 Is devika related to krishna wife mitravindha . Mitravindhas father jayasena too belongs to shibi lineage?
Answer- Not sure. Mitravinda was probably sister of Vinda, Anuvinda, They were from state of Avanti. Their mother was sister of Vasudeva / Kunti. So they were cousin of Krishna and Pandavas. Mitravinda and Krishna’s marriage was like cousin marriage much like Subhadra and Arjuna.

Question-5 Was devika more beautiful than draupadi?
Answer- Nope , she was not . Draupadi was most beautiful women of her time after Rukmani . But it's doesn't mean she was not beautiful.. And epic hasn't mention about her complexion like other wife'
Vyasa has mentioned the wives the 2nd time also and then described how those wives of the Pandavas were.
“This lady, of eyes as expansive as lotus petals, who seems to have touched the middle age of life, whose complexion resembles that of the blue lotus, and who looks like a goddess of Heaven, is Krishna, the embodied form of the goddess of prosperity.
She who sits besides her, possessed of the complexion of pure gold, who looks like the embodied rays of the moon, in the midst of the other ladies, is, ye foremost of regenerate ones, the sister of that unrivalled hero who wields the discus. This other, as fair as pure gold, is the daughter of the snake-chief and wife of Arjuna.(Ulupi)
This other whose complexion is like that of pure gold or like that of Madhuka flowers, is the princess Chitrangada.
This one, that is possessed of the complexion of an assemblage of blue lotuses, is the sister of that monarch, that lord of hosts, who used to always challenge Krishna. She is the foremost wife of Vrikodara.(Valandhara)
This is the daughter of the king of Magadha who was known by the name of Jarasandha. Possessed of the complexion of an assemblage of Champakas, she is the wife of the youngest son of Madravati.(Vijaya)
Possessed of a complexion as darkish as that of the blue lotus, she who sits there on the earth, and whose eyes are as expansive as lotus-petals, is the wife of the eldest son of Madravati”.(Karenumati)
