If the husband returns from a journey and begins with his other wife, staying with her for days, he must make up those days to you, unless you willingly forgo your right. Al-Hajawi said: "And if he sends her away for his need, or she moves from one city to another with his permission, her right to maintenance and division is not forfeited. He must make it up to her according to the time he spent with her co-wife."
