Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to request a divorce from her husband because he is going to marry another woman?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. If he marries another woman, that is a favor from Allah, for Allah has permitted him to do so. However, she may request a divorce if he neglects her rights, if he does not treat her with justice and infringes upon her rights. In that case, she has the right to request a divorce. But if he marries another woman and treats them all with justice and fulfills his obligations, it is not permissible for her to request a divorce.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 8:1348 It is not permissible to ask for a divorce simply because he has taken what Allah has permitted him to take. This is permissible, praise be to Allah; indeed, it may even be a recommended practice. She only has the right if he does not give her the rights that Allah has made obligatory for her. Yes.
