What should a man married to two women do, when one of them demands divorce and alimony and files lawsuits against him, and he has two young daughters with her, in addition to the problems and disputes that led to a judicial ruling against him, so that he may live a good life?
Allah created marriage on the basis of affection and mercy, making them the foundation of the relationship between spouses. If the marital relationship reaches a dead end due to disputes, then efforts should be made to reconcile through mediators from the families of both spouses, in compliance with the words of Allah Almighty: "And if you fear dissension between the two, send an arbitrator from his people and an arbitrator from her people. If they both desire reconciliation, Allah will cause agreement between them. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Acquainted." (An-Nisa: 35). If all avenues of reconciliation have been exhausted and living together becomes impossible, then separation may be better for both parties, as Allah Almighty said: "But if they separate [by divorce], Allah will enrich each of them from His abundance. And Allah is ever Encompassing and Wise." (An-Nisa: 130).
