The ruling on a wife requesting divorce because her husband married another woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does a wife commit a sin if she requests a divorce from her husband because he married another woman?
Answer:
If she stipulated that he would not marry another woman and he violated that by marrying, she has the right to annul the marriage. However, if she did not stipulate this, she has no right to request a divorce merely because he married, provided he has not wronged her and is acting justly toward her. In that case, it is not permissible for her to request a divorce, as this is not justified, because Allah has permitted him to marry. You do not deny him something that is permissible. But if he transgresses and wrongs you, you have the right to demand your rights, not a divorce. Let divorce be the last resort.
