Question
Asalamualakum

I have a question that if a person is married already & he has three children & his wife is alive. His wife is also living with him in his house . they like each other too. But then husband wants to marry another girl. Now my question is that it is compulsory that the husband must to get permission from her wife for second marriage or he may do this with out the consent of first wife & can marry the second girl in hidden way. Although he does not want to divorce the first wife. & wants to keep both in his home. Plz tell me about the permission of first wife in accordance of Muslim law Quran & sunnah thanx


Answer
 marriage is halal,none has the right to blame you for having a second wife.second marriage is not based on any excuse ,men can marry more than one woman whenever they feel the need and ability to do this.you can marry without taking the permission from the first wife,it is good to keep your first wife but it is preferred to have the second wife in a separate house[this is the right of the second wife],this will prevent alot of expected troubles.
do not marry in a hidden way,announce your marriage openly as stated in Shari'ah but you can keep your first wife uninformed to avoid troubles[at least early troubles].
 polygamy[multiple marriage] is the duety of every able muslim man nowadays,I hope I can do the same soon insha'Allah.
