Summary
A man in a polygamous marriage must be just and equal toward his wives in maintenance, housing, overnight turns, good treatment and other obligations. However, the husband is not at fault if the second wife willingly waives her right and he, with her consent, does not return to her home.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tidak menjadi kesalahan kepada suami jika isteri kedua redha menggugurkan haknya dan dengan rela hati suami tidak balik ke rumahnya.
