Prophet (sws) Showed Displeasure On Second Marriage Of Hazrat Ali (rta)
Multiple marriages by men and even by women if divorced or widowed was a common practice. Women were not hurt like today’s women. Given the report is authentic it was about a particular woman, reportedly, the daughter of Abu Jahal, with whom Hazrat Fatima did not approve the marriage and the prophet agreed with her. And announced the his daughter and the daughter of the enemy of God cannot be gathered. The particular reason of the disapproval is well reported according to my knowledge. The woman was Muslim still the prophet disapproved it. The report misses the details therefore nothing can be said for sure. In such historical reports lack of details give incomplete picture and therefore one should not be misled as the prophet could not go against the teachings of Deen and justice. Hazart Ali had slave girls too and his physical relation with them was never objected.
