Waalaikum'Salaam, sisters, remember you have rights in everything especially in marriage. You have a right to request a khulu if conditions are forced upon you and you are not able to live with it. For those sisters who are not married yet, try to outline your expectations for the marriage in an Islamic Pre-nuptial agreement. For those sisters who are married and living in not the happiest situations--my heart is with you. Inshaallah you may be able to strengthen yourselves by educating yourselves and become economically stronger. For those sisters who are divorced (like myself)--enjoy the time to strengthen your imaan and physial being. If you are struggling in various ways, may Allah SWT make everything easier for you. You can also contact me, if you like (contact the owner of this group so that they can forward your information to me). For brothers, like the one who recently married his 7th wife, need to respect the rights of having one wife.

What is the proper ruling on multiple marriages? 2. Can the man marry more than one woman at a time, and not inform the wives of each other? 3. Can the woman seek khulu (without his permission to accept her decision to divorce) if she did not consent to a polygamous marriage or informed of other wives before she married the man? 4. Can she walk away from the marriage where there has been deceit and non-financial support of her? I know what is Sunnah but some brothers have made mutaa marriages commonplace. Waa'Salaam j786SURAH22
