The answer

Failing to document a marriage contract can lead to great harms and the loss of legitimate rights; therefore, it should not be taken lightly. The justice incumbent upon a husband between his wives is regarding overnight stays, and he must be just between them, whether they are in the same country or different countries, unless one of them relinquishes her right. As for maintenance, equality is not a condition for it; rather, the husband is obligated to spend on each wife according to what is customary and sufficient for her needs.
