Question
When a man married his second wife she had agreed to waive her right of equal nights and equal maintenance expenses. After a few months, she claims her rights. Does she have the right to renege from her earlier agreement?
Answer
As long as the second wife agrees to waive her rights, it is permissible. But she has the right to re-instate her rights and demand that it be fulfilled even if she had initially agreed to waive them.
