Rights of Second Wife

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askmufti.co.za

Q: If a woman becomes a second wife, would she have equal rights or is she not allowed the same rights as the first wife? I pose this question as a friend was told she has no rights to demand equality as she came second in her husband’s life.

A: Both have equal rights.
