Justice Between Wives in Occasions

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. Sister, Umm Muhammad, sent a question about her situation. She mentions that she is the second wife and lives far from her family; they are in one area, and she says she is in another strange area. I have no relationships other than my husband’s family, and my husband is busy with his work. My problem with my husband is that he attends family occasions, which are extremely rare, as well as the festivals, once with me and once with his first wife. Knowing that the first wife is from the local area. All the family members are present and exchange visits and rounds constantly, and sometimes they go out more than once in a single day. As for me and my young children, we are deprived of all this, and all of this has a negative impact on my psyche and my children. What is the ruling on justice between wives in such a case?

Answer:
Justice between wives is in financial maintenance, housing, clothing, and lodging. This is the justice between wives that is obligatory upon the husband. As for what the questioner mentioned, these are secondary matters. She should reconcile with her husband, or be lenient regarding any shortcoming on his part.
