Men do not need consent of their first wife to take on a second one. I have no issues with polygamy as long as everyone is consenting to the arrangement but it’s extremely unfair to not require the consent of your first wife.

Yes people can say well the first wife has the right to leave but what if she doesn’t want to leave? What if she just wants to enjoy her life as is without another woman involved. So say there is a couple married for 25 years and the wife is 40 years old. They have a nice home, two kids and life is going well. All of a sudden the husband has a mid life crisis and decides to get married again to a much younger woman. The first wife has no choice but to give up this life or just accept her husband’s brilliant idea? Extremely unfair.

from what i know, they need her consent. If she says no, then he can’t
