Re: What are your thoughts on polygamous marriage/being a co-wife?
Then show evidence where Rasullullah condoned a situation where a man was asked to take on a second wife, and the first wife said she wasn’t comfortable with it, and he stopped such a marriage, because the consent of the first wife wasn’t present?
There is such a situation that happened. Between Fatima (R) and Ali (R). Ali (R) was asked to look into a marriage proposal (and at that time, polygamy was so accepted that rishtas commonly went to men who were already married from a girl’s family), he went to inquire about it. And this upset Fatima (R). She was NOT consenting to be part of a polygamous arrangement. She had been INFORMED, and she was NOT CONSENTING.
Rasulullah (SAW) interfered and called Ali (R) and asked him to not take the second wife, because this upset Fatima (R) so much.
This is an example of where consent IS required, not just INFORMING the wife.
