the guy can support her financially, why does he need to marry her? Nowadays it’s really hard for men to be equally fair to both wives, and to make sure neither feels jealous or less favored. My mumani was widowed when she was only 1 month pregnant with her son. She was offered marriage proposals too but she never married because she didn’t want some ghair aadmi living with her and her kids. So this uncle (married with kids) who her husband worked for, offered to pay her her husbands salaray every year until her son got a degree and was working. She’s happy, her kids are happy.
Moral of the story, insaaniyat dikhaanay ke bohat saaray raastay hotay hain. I understand the husband feels bad, and might even feel obligated to help her out, but one shouldn’t take a decision in which others wouldn’t be happy with.
