Please can you help with advise.Would this marriage be valid islamically in the eyes of Allah?A marriage at the masjid between two muslims, one male and one female with the imam conducting the ceremony.Both parties entering the marriage volentarily although the male muslim is still married to his first non muslim wife, who he has been seperated from for a period of one year, but is not yet divorced from.The first wife has not lived with her husband for one year but is unaware of the second marriage.The husband intends to divorce the first wife after the second marriage ceremony.The imam would be representing the second wife acting as her wali, as a muslim revert without a muslim father to represent her.Nikah is present and many witnesses and guests to attend.Is the marriage valid islamically without permission from the first wife?Many conflicting answers given.I am confused, I have read, islamically second marriage requires permission of first wife to be valid, or the first wife to request divorce if it is more than she can bear. But that she must be consulted. Like the comment left below that it was the action of the prophet pbuh when taking further wives. But how could the masjid or imam conduct the ceremony without the first wives knowledge or permission if it is required to validate the marriage islamically? I am so confused. Much wanting to marry, but wanting to obey laws of Allah. The husband will not consult first wife about second marriage, until after he has divorced her, for fear of her vengence removing access to their children and being vengeful in financial settlements in divorce when she learns of plans to settle in a new life with another. The husband states that once divorce is settled, and access in place to be in childrens lives he will advise of second marriage. Please can people advise and give proof of statements,
There is no evidence stating that a man needs permission from his wife to take a second, third, or fourth wife. Someone needs to bring forth evidence prohibiting it not evidence to allow it. We already have evidence that polygany is permitted in Islam, so what evidence do we have that it is prohibited if the wife does not agree.Note, this is not to say that one should do it without consulting the first one, talking to her, etc. Do not mix and match. Rather, my answer is strictly about SEEKING permission to get a second wife for which there is no evidence in Islam.
Yes there is no evidence..but personally i think the man should tell the first wife and if she approves great..but if she says no...you are entitled to listen to her,,and either give her a divorce or dont marry the second woman...but before a divorce try and talk to her...Salam
