Is the husband obligated to bear the travel expenses of the second wife, just as he did with the first wife by bearing her travel expenses?
Justice must be observed between wives in all matters where it is possible, and this includes gifts, expenditures, and travel. This is the preferred view of some contemporary scholars, contrary to the majority of jurists who believe that justice is obligatory only in dwelling allocation and overnight stays. Therefore, if the husband bears the travel expenses of one wife, he is obliged to bear the travel expenses of the other to achieve justice in the gift. If the husband acted according to a previous consistent with the view of the majority, there is no blame on him. The wife is advised to overlook and disregard the husband's preference in a previous trip, especially if it involved a benefit for him and the family.
