That IS actually supporting consent. Because if you did not need the consent, then first wife can be INFORMED, as Fatima R was, and she has to be obliged to stay in the marriage against her will because she as a muslim is sinning by now allowing her husband to take a second wife. The fact that she can file for divorce on this grounds in the first place shows that the CONSENT is needed otherwise the marriage can’t happen.

The fact that she can file for divorce means that information is needed. I think we are going in loops here.

Here are 2 versions of the Hadees. Where in those 2 versions, do you see Hazrat Ali asking for Fatima’s consent?

“I heard Allah’s Apostle who was on the pulpit, saying, 'Banu Hisham bin Al-Mughira have requested me to allow them to marry their daughter to Ali bin Abu Talib, but I don’t give permission, and will not give permission unless ‘Ali bin Abi Talib divorces my daughter in order to marry their daughter, because Fatima is a part of my body, and I hate what she hates to see, and what hurts her, hurts me.’” [Saheeh al-Bukhaari, Vol. 7, Book 62 (Book of Marriage), Hadeeth No. 4887]

And in another Hadith:

"Ali demanded the hand of the daughter of Abu Jahl. Fatimah heard of this and went to Allah’s Messenger saying, ‘Your people think that you do not become angry for the sake of your daughters as `Ali now is going to marry the daughter of Abu Jahl.’

On that, the Messenger got up and after his recitation of Tashahud (witnessing the oneness of the Creator and the prophethood of His Final Messenger) I heard him saying, ‘I married one of my daughters (Zainab) to Abu Al-Aas ibn Ar-Rabi before Islam and he proved truthful in whatever he said to me. No doubt Fatimah is part of me; I hate to see her troubled. By Allah, the daughter of Allah’s Messenger and the daughter of Allah’s enemy cannot be the wives of one man.’" [Saheeh al-Bukhaari, Vol. 4, Book 53 (Book of One-Fifth of War Booty), Hadeeth No. 2900
