Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In our country, they have enacted man-made laws that prohibit plural marriage, and whoever does so is punished with imprisonment. He says: What is your advice to us in this matter? And are we allowed to marry a second wife in secret?
Answer:
If you are in fear and face legal repercussions, do not involve yourselves in this matter. However, if you are not in fear and you are able to marry, even if it violates the law and you are not in fear, there is no harm and no harm. Yes.
