How is justice achieved between two wives, one of whom lives with the husband all week, and the other for only two days a week due to work circumstances and distance?
A husband must be just between his wives in the division of nights spent with each of them equally. The fact that one of them accompanies him to work does not affect this. The obligation of equal division does not cease if the two wives are in different countries. He must either go to the absent wife on her designated days or bring them together in one country. If she refuses to come, despite being able to, her right is forfeited. If he wishes to divide his time between them in their respective countries but cannot divide it night by night, he should make the period according to what is possible for him. A wife is permitted to waive her right to division entirely or partially.
