Men: When is it ok to have a second wife without any social guilt ?
Women: Under what circumstances you can permit your husband to marry another women ?
P.S: Just wondering , I am not contemplating one right now but it is good to be ready when the occasion arises. Just kidding.

P.
NEVER!
It's either me or her!! I would have given somewhat of a different reply if I hadn't experience the jealousy when I met my husband's co-workers (at a party) who were "very friendly" to him!! Right there and then I realized, he belongs to me and no one can ever take my place or even close. :p
Re: Second wife.
When you love someone with all your heart and soul, the very best gift to give is the gift of life. So if I had been unable to bless my husband with that gift, I would have wanted another wife for him so that he would be able to procreate. In other circumstances, I think it would have to be like severe famine or disaster where a woman really needed a husband. In those cases, its ok. Any other reason is simply due to the fact that the guy is a pig.
Re: Second wife.
At my wedding the khutba of nikah was about permissibility of 4 wives in Islam. All the women were so mad and the men were looking at the floor.
I am sure that this moulvi sahab was never invited for performing another nikah ceremony.:)
Re: Second wife.
I guess I would allow that only if, like Mamaof3 said, I was unable to give him children. But even then, I would not be happy about it. I think the worst thing for a woman is to ever feel that your husband can share any emotions with any other woman, minus his own mom, sisters, etc.
Re: Second wife.
Don’t even till him that. He will start making the arrangement to send you ‘uss paar.’ 
Re: Second wife.
I would not share him with anyone under ANY circumstances.

Re: Second wife.
Never is the shortest answer.
THe other day hubs was at the masjid and the Sheikh asked him if we had any kids yet etc. He said not yet. Hubs claims that the Sheikh said May Allah give you four wives and he told the shaikh he isnt sure if this dua warrants an ameen or not. I think the sheikh said four KIDS and not wives adn hubs is just day dreaming.
Anyhow when he told me, i was pretty upset . From waht i have heard the sheikh speak, he has never implied this for anyone so why me! Hubs thinks i should ask him and i might if i get the chance.
Re: Second wife.
NEVER....!!
i cant think of any good reason for it...even if it was to have kids...
whatever the reason might be for a couple not being able to have children of their own...when you are married and love the significant other with all your heart and soul and are committed to be there no matter how good or bad things are,then there is no question why one should seek re marriage just to have biological children....
just my opinion...:)
i once asked my husband will he ever re marry if i depart this world...he said "NO WAY...!!...meary liye aik he bohat hai...!!"...:D....
so i guess there is nothing for me to worry about....hehehhe
Re: Second wife.
i would never alloy
and children. if i cant give him children. we can adopt a newborn from any other country. in one hand we are saving at least one child from being struck into poverrty and a hard knock life and on the other hand we are going to have a baby
and plus if a woman canot have a child. that is already a heartbreaker. if her husband is with someone else. thats just gona break her apart.
Re: Second wife.
and plus a good husbband. would know not to burden his wife with another woman. unless the woman has NO problem withit which isjust rare nowadays
Re: Second wife.
Well if I wouldnt be able to have kids then I would allow him to marry someone else but I dont see myself living with him anymore in such a situation.
We actually spoke about 4 wives and stuff once when I was joking about it and my hubby wouldnt re-marry even if I suggested it to him...
But I cant see myself in a 'trinangle' sharing hubby wiht someone
Re: Second wife.
lol i'm glad i'm not the only one who says never! i think i'd be eaten up by jealousy :( . My hubby doesnt have any intention of having a second wife so phew lol. but i can see how in some circumstance it wouild be the right and noble thing to do, unfortunately i dont think i could ever do it
Re: Second wife.
Righ? Noble? It is even considered? 
Cousins marriage
The daughter’s thingy
And now this…
Re: Second wife.
^this world has many issues you know, i don't see why you're so surprised.
Re: Second wife.
Of course I know, but I didnt think these were issues that you young people would even consider. There comes my surprise.
Re: Second wife.
Never. I wouldn't bear it. And as for the women not being able to bear children, that is Allah's will. What guarantee does the guy have that if he remarries he will have kids and a "Better" life. A loving couple has the option of adoption or taking in a foster child. And as for certain situations may warrant a 2nd wife...all i can think of is like poor wife, widow..etc. Why can't someone just help that person out financially....etc..instead of taking her as a wife?
Re: Second wife.
let him remarry for chidlren -?!
So the sole purpose of getting married was to have children and if you can’t have them then lets try another. How barbaric! What difference is there between insaan and janwar then?
Isn’t marriage a commitment to love each other? OR is there a clause in nikkah saying I will only love you IF the following conditions are met.
I dont think there is anything that can compell me to accept another woman. And no I wouldn’t divorce him.. I’d kill him.
