Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. He says: If I married another woman on top of her, does her father have the right to annul the marriage contract between me and my wife, or does he not have that right?
Answer:
If she does not break up with you and you need to marry, there is no objection to you. You may marry even if you do not need to, for Allah the Exalted says:[An-Nisa 4:3], even if your wife is with you and your situation and hers are one of righteousness. There is no barrier to your marrying a second, third, or fourth wife, for this is something Allah has made permissible for you. No one has the right to prevent you from it, except if she stipulated that you not marry another woman on top of her. In this case, you may marry, but she has the right to annul the marriage. If she does not accept it, she has the right to annul it. However, she does not have the right to prevent you from marrying someone else. But if you marry someone else while she has stipulated that you not marry, then she has the choice: either to annul her marriage to you, or to remain under your protection. Yes.
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. He says: If I married another woman on top of her, does her father have the right to annul the marriage contract between me and my wife, or does he not have that right?
Answer:
If she does not break up with you and you need to marry, there is no objection to you. You may marry even if you do not need to, for Allah the Exalted says:
then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four
فَانكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُم مِّنَ النِّسَاءِ مَثْنَىٰ وَثُلَاثَ وَرُبَاعَ
