What are your thoughts on polygamous marriage/being a co-wife?

Re: What are your thoughts on polygamous marriage/being a co-wife?

Huh what?! What are YOU smoking?? Islam does not require a wife’s consent for a second marriage. I stated it is unfair that the first wife has no say if her husband decides to take on a second wife. She can either leave him or accept his second marriage. She does not have a choice to continue her life as is and that to me seems unfair. But again as TLK’s posts have shown, there is a lot of historical context behind this verse. However the bottom line remains…a man does not need his wife’s permission to marry again.
