What is the Islamic ruling on a wife seeking divorce from her husband who intends to marry another woman without her knowledge, and on the ruling concerning abortion?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Polygyny is permissible in Islamic law. The husband is not required to inform his second wife that he is already married, and the wife is not allowed to demand a divorce for this reason. Abortion is forbidden. It is advised to put one's trust in Allah and not to stand in the husband's way.
