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
Marriage is a public act. The chinese says when you divulge a secret it is heard a 1000 miles away!
She should be consulted, all things equal, however, it may not have legal implications on the validity of the contract.
