A man saying to his wife: Any wife I marry other than you is divorced

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh! My wife suspects that I will marry another woman in addition to her, and I intend to do so in the future. Is it permissible for me to say to her, to make her feel at ease: Any wife I marry other than you is divorced?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
He says: My wife suspects that I will marry another woman in addition to her.

The Shaykh:
You have the right to divorce her, so marry, and praise be to Allah. If the conditions for having multiple wives are met, marry and do not consult her or seek her opinion on this matter; this is your right.
