[quote]Now you are saying that a marriage conducted without the knowledge of first wife is adultery? Nikkah is a halal thing, adultery is not. Nikkah has only conditions that the persons getting in nikah consent to it and there be two witnesses. That is the bare minimum requirment. Are you making a halal thing (2nd nikkah) into haraam? << foolish >> Read 4.5. Quran calls those women who waste their family wealth as foolish women. It is quite clear. The word used is 'sofaha' - fools. << My point is decisions should be jointly taken and on an equal basis. >> Man has a degree over women, and he has the final say in decision making. You cannot have two heads of state, you cannot have two CEOs, you cannot have two heads of the family. That will cause chaos. One person, either man, or woman, has to be in charge. Islam has given that role to the man, it endorses patriarchy. He can consult his family members on an issue, but he has the final say. << It will only encourage men to cheat on their wives. Do we know that? >> We live in the West where this kind of thing is rampant. The system here is monogamous by law, but in reality it is not. Men and women are cheating their spouses. This is proof that the system you are proposing causes increase in adultery. Men will still do what they want to do. Islam puts conditions on it so the rights of the second woman are held and she becomes a wife. If you don't allow it, then she will become a mistress with no legal rights. Understand that you cannot stop men from having another woman. Which is worse, extra marital affair with a mistress who has no legal rights, or a secret second wife with legal rights and protection. << Finally, in my opinion extra marital affairs must be severly condemned as opposed to get legalized. >> If a man marries a second woman, then he is not commiting an extra mariatal affair. He is supporting a woman and her children, providing food, shelter and clothing for them and taking care of their needs. He does not need anyone's permission to support another woman in this manner. Question Where is your proof that secret second wife = adultery ?[/quote]
