[quote]Assalam alaikum,

I am afraid I do not agree with your conclusions. Neither is polygyny time specific nor was slavery time specific. Both these activities still exist, and to think that the laws regarding them are no longer applicable is living in denial of what is happening in the world. When ever and where ever these things exist, the Islamic laws must be applied.

I do agree that the woman will be hurt in the case scenarios you have described, and it seems like the husband has lied to his wife or kept her in the dark, which can't be good. So there should be some kind of check on such a thing. However you failed to comment on the scenario I described where the wife is not letting her husband a divorce while not living with him any more and at the same time not letting him marry someone else. In this case the man is clearly the victim.

Also hoping that extra-marital affairs will not be a more serious problem than before after your ruling is passed, is wishful thinking.

Islam clearly wants people to live within wedlock. What you are proposing will cause some weak men to have extra marital affairs. This is not good for the woman who is cheated, and not good for the mistress who will not get all the rights of a wife.

All I am saying is that what you think is good, might not be that great. You have to think of all the cases.[/quote]
