The answer

Allah Almighty has permitted a man to marry up to four women, provided he observes justice. The believing woman must submit to this. The first wife should be advised that marrying a second wife is not forbidden, and that she should care for her husband and treat him well. Her distress is a trial that she should meet with patience and seeking reward from Allah. If she cannot be patient, she is permitted to ask for a divorce. The husband and the wife's family are advised to be patient and pious, and to avoid harming others, as causing harm to others is forbidden.
