Holy matrimony: Watta satta - your daughter in exchange for mine

I know of two sisters married to two brothers, so I guess that would be watta satta marriage…although in their case, it wasn’t set as a condition. MashaAllah se they’re happy. I do not favor the imposing of such an arrangement. However, I suspect that the abusive husbands in this article would have mistreated their wives even if they didn’t have a watta-satta marriage. Look at the quoted example. Assuming the glass was broken by accident, that doesn’t warrant a scolding from your spouse. It’s easily replaceable. To physically harm your wife when the other guy merely scolded his sister is not only unjust but too severe of a reaction. Both men…the scolder and the hitter…lack control of their tempers. So they might behave this way with their wives irrespective of what kind of marriage they have. Though, yes, a watta-satta (like cousin marriages) can make relationships more delicate.

Yes becuase in this case,if one is divorced, it will be demanded to divorce the other as well, why one of two suffer just because of this system, nobody suffer only those two girls suffer who are in exchange! May Allah grant them understanding ameen
