Prophet (sws) Showed Displeasure On Second Marriage Of Hazrat Ali (rta)
Just the way Islam didn’t put any restriction on marrying more than one, similarly it has not put any restriction on the bride to stay in that marriage at all costs if a husband indulges in second marriage or to not put second marriage condition subject to approval/permission of the first wife at the time of Nikkah. After study of all the narrations on this issue in the primary Hadith books, it becomes clear that this objection was raised by Prophet Muhammad (Sws) in his capacity as a father, who excercised his right as a Father-in-Law to ask Ali (rta) to divorce his daughter first before indulging in second marriage. This was done in his capacity as a father, not in his capacity as a Prophet. Therefore, this has no religious connotations. The same demand can be made by fathers today if their sons-in-law intend on indulging in a second marriage.
