In this matter, that man married another woman in 1998, without his wife's information or concern. What legal actions should be taken against that man? and Is his second marriage will be considered as legal?

A.Dear Client,
A muslim can remarry with the consent of his previous wife only. And must treat with previous wife properly. But if the wife is facing any problem she can file a divorce petition.

A.A muslim man can marry up to four woman but with the consent of the existing wives. He must provide every facility and treats well to all his wives in equal proportion. Hence his second marriage will be considered legal. The first wife can claim divorce against her husband for not treating her equally or any other ground specified in muslim personal law. Otherwise there is no other punishment for remarriage by a muslim person.

Respected Sir, thank you very much for your valuable advice. In our matter, that person married another woman without the consent of his first wife and one more thing is that he is not providing any facilities to his first wife and also not treating her well. Because he is staying with his second wife and he has made his second wife the beneficiary in every aspect.

Then if his first wife is comfortable in breaking all the ties with her husband then she can file a suit for divorce against her husband on same grounds. She must take the help of an advocate to file a divorce suit.
