Re: Polygamy and Islam
I don't understand one thing.
All those who say that you don't need to ask the first wife for permission, please respond.
If the second potential wife is being told that the potential husband already has a first wife, then she is being given a choice, a choice to go into a marriage with a man who already has another wife.
The first wife, if she is not being told of this, is not being given this choice if her permission/approval is not required for her husband to take on a second wife.
Doesn't that make it so that there is injustice between the two right from the get go as the first wife was given no such choice while the second wife was?
If someone could explain this, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks
