polyamory and guppies

Re: polyamory and guppies

In the Hanafi madhab a marriage is still valid if the girl marries without her wali present (the guy needs to be ‘appropriate’ etc).. it’s a cutural misconception that those of us who are Hanafis must have our parents’ permissions to marry our partners.. it’s strongly discouraged to go ahead without our parents’ blessings but not haram..

Many Arabs follow a diff school of thought.. none of the other madhabs allow it..

In regards to husband needing first wife’s permission it’s not necessary in religious terms.. but he’s required to tell her it’s happened.. to keep it a secret is haram..
