What is the ruling on marrying a man whose wife suffers from morbid obesity?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a man wishes to marry a second wife while being capable of dealing justly between them, he is permitted to do so, and there is no impediment for a woman to accept him as a husband. A man is allowed to marry a second wife under this condition, even if there is no fault in his first wife.
