This query is : Resolved
Dear All,
There is a petition filed in the Family court by a muslim wife against the husband and the wife has left the house and gone away for the last 7 to 9 months, leaving her 2 children (1 major and one minor) and custody of minor has been granted to the father through a court order. The case is still pending in the Family Court.
Could the husband being a muslim, now at this stage(Not divoreced yet as case pending) go around (Have an affair) with another lady whether muslim or not and also marry her if he wishes. Would it be against the muslim law or any law.
Regards
Atish

The person being a muslim can marry up to four times in any given point of time without attracting any prohibition. The muslim can marry only in accordance with Shariat which prohibits marrying a idol or fire worshiper.

Yes. He can as per his whims and wishes as his personal law allows him in India.
