[quote]>>Now you are saying that a marriage conducted without the knowledge of first wife is adultery?

I am saying that extra marital affairs cannot be allowed as second marriage.

Do you understand that this tantamounts to encouraging what the Shariah has so strongly forbidden. It is like a loophole in the law which men in their lusts try to exploit?

<< foolish >>

004.005 
YUSUFALI: To those weak of understanding Make not over your property, which Allah hath made a means of support for you, but feed and clothe them therewith, and speak to them words of kindness and justice. 
PICKTHAL: Give not unto the foolish (what is in) your (keeping of their) wealth, which Allah hath given you to maintain; but feed and clothe them from it, and speak kindly unto them. 
SHAKIR: And do not give away your property which Allah has made for you a (means of) support to the weak of understanding, and maintain them out of (the profits of) it, and clothe them and speak to them words of honest advice.

I dont think women are being referred to in this verse. It is used generally.
 
>>Man has a degree over women, and he has the final say in decision making.

What if he is foolish? After all we can fire an incompetent CEO?

The point is whether you like it or not, homes are either being run by the male or by the female, based on the dominant person. I personally know of many families where the woman leads that role.

What I am stating is that all decisions need to be jointly taken and in full agreement of both parties.

>>Men and women are cheating their spouses. This is proof that the system you are proposing causes increase in adultery.

That is not a consequence of the law. It has more to do with liberal moral upbringing.

>>Men will still do what they want to do.

So does this mean, we should legalize it?

>>Understand that you cannot stop men from having another woman.......or a secret second wife with legal rights and protection.

I will cease comments here. I'll allow Muslim women to comment here?

(Centuries of patriarchy refuses to die)

>>He does not need anyone's permission to support another woman in this manner.

Give me one verse where it states you need no permission?

>>Where is your proof that secret second wife = adultery ?

Second wife out of lust is legalized adultery. I think this is clear enough.
