Second marriage

Hi, 

 

I am a married Muslim man and wish to take a second wife. Is there any special requirement for this and do I need to get approval from my first wife as per Indian law.

Also the second wife is not Indian.

Muslims too have variable personal laws.  The distinction is there among Shias and Sunnis.

 

First be aware of your personal laws in order to find out, under what circumstances you are allowed to keep a second wife.

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for your response.

I guess I did not provide details for an clear answer.

I am a Sunni Muslim and my intention is to get married without divorcing my first wife. Furthermore my second wife to be is a Christian and not she is not an Indian. I know its a complicated case and this is why Lawyers are the only people who can answer my query.

Thanks
