Plural marriage and fair treatment of co-wives
Misyar Marriage
Misyar marriage is where a man does a Shar’i marriage contract with a woman, meeting the conditions of marriage, but the woman gives up some of her rights such as accommodation, maintenance or the husband’s staying overnight with her. If misyar marriage fulfills the conditions of a valid marriage, namely the proposal and acceptance, the consent of the wali and witnesses or announcement of the marriage, then it is a valid marriage contract.222,328His country forbids plural marriage and he wants to marry a second wife with the permission of her brother but not her father
