Nikah (Marriage) - Talaaq (Divorce) The Majlis Vol 20 No 12, p.12

A man married a second wife without the knowledge of his first wife.

Question

A man married a second wife without the knowledge of his first wife. Some years later the first wife discovered this. Now she and her family are demanding that the husband divorces his second wife. What should he do?

Answer

He should do what the Shariah instructs him. He should never submit to the haraam dictates of his wife and her family. It is haraam for him to divorce his second wife to satisfy the haraam dictates of his first wife and her miserable family. They are enemies of Allah's Deen, hence they display such kufr.
