Fathwa, - • Marriage and Engagement • - The Acceptance of the First Wife is Not a Condition For One Who Wishes to Marry Another

Question:
There is no doubt that Islaam has permitted plurality of wives, but is
it required for the husband to seek the acceptance of his first wife
before marrying the second one?
Answer:
It is not obligatory for the husband, when he wishes to marry
another,to get his first wife's acceptance, but it is a noble trait of
character and good relations for him to appease her by whatever
decreases the pain which women naturally feel in such situations. This
may be achieved by smiling, greeting her warmly andspeaking kindly to
her, and by whatever money you can afford, if her acceptance requires
it. - - ▓███▓ Translator:-> http://translate.google.com/m/ ▓███▓
