Can’t trust my wife

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

Assalaamualaikum,

I was married before and had a wonderful life. The only issue was that I have no kids from her because of her age. The truth is that I feel very bad myself because it was my choice to marry again. Anyway, my first wife agreed and she said to go ahead and marry someone else. I am very sure she didn’t mean it but I left and married the second time. I have been married over 16 years and have two kids but my relationship with the new wife is very bad. I can’t trust her now, I don’t know what to do, please advise? I can’t leave with her as I can’t trust her.

Favorable and unfavorable conditions happen in life. One should pass through with patience and courage. Especially when someone has two wives then the issue is more cumbersome. Commonly the deficiency is seen in the due fulfillment of the rights, therefore, you should fulfill both wives’ rights equally.

We can only give an opinion about the differences developed with your second wife, after knowing its reasons. It would be better if you consult with some local اہل حق (Ahl e Haq) experienced scholar letting him know your situation.
