Question
I have two wives. What is the meaning of observing equality? If I spend some time during the day with one wife, do I have to do the same for the other wife? If I take one wife with on a journey, must I also take the other wife on a journey at some other time?
Answer
Equality between wives means equality of night time, not day time. The husband has the right to spend more day time with one wife than with the other. The husband may take with him any wife on his journey. Equality in this respect is not incumbent. The other wife does not have the right to demand that she also be taken on a journey.
