Newly Married, Yet He Took a Second Wife

13 December, 2023
Q I have been married to my husband for less than six months.

I left the country, I went to see my sick mother and when I was away from my husband and I suffered a miscarriage and after that we had a disagreement and we blocked each other and now I came back.

And he told that he is married to this other woman who her parents don't know that is she married to him and his mother doesn't want him to marry her and he even told me that my mother in law said he should divorce me and the other woman I love my husband so much coz we have be through together.

Answer

You are newly married, and he is already married to someone else behind your back, while you were away with your sick mother.

It is only the beginning of your marriage, and still, it seems that he is not committed enough.

In a situation like this, you need to ask yourself whether he possesses the qualities you would like to see in a husband or not. 

Write down them in a list, and also the qualities he actually has. Compare the lists and see whether they match.

Turn to Allah for guidance. If you know where your heart is, make sure that your reasoning also supports your feelings.
