Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to request a divorce from her husband if he marries another woman, on the grounds that if she stays with him, she will not be able to obey him and fulfill his rights because of her intense jealousy?
Answer:
It is not permissible for her to do that. He has the right to marry, but he must be just between the women and give her her rights. Does she not have the right to prevent him from doing something that Allah has made permissible for him? Yes.
