    "as a muslim i cannot forbid him", yes you can.

    "And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice]."

    Qur'an 4:3, Sahih International

    If you feel that he is not doing justice with you than he is not permitted to marry more.

    **I could be wrong so please correct me if you feel so.**

    And Allah knows best.

    EDIT:

    "I'm a piece of halal meat" has a good answer.

    Salam Your husband got marrued for second time just base on sexual desires or nafs ,because based on the Qur'an,Allah said that a man could not treat both of his wives fairly and justly in everything materially,time and spiritually,he is not allowed to gat married more than one wife.Allah gives this opportunity for emergency door when his first wife has long time illness who could not serve well him on the bed or his wife is infertility Certainly you will be hurt. You must ask for his explanation why his got married again,what is your shortcoming which can be improved.A wife should obey to her husband if he is always in the right path based on the Qur'an and hadith. You would not be a bad wife if you reject his proposal to get msrried again without strong reason and he neglected you.

    Why do you think a woman has only the right to say "i dont like that idea" when they can stop an illegitimate marriage.

    The question is was it under legitimate circumstance that the marriage you describe happened? I think not, if you want a quranic reference for this then see 4:3 , 4:129

    Your husband is NOT a good Muslim. He is making mockery of ISLAM. Your husband DOES NOT KNOW the ABC of ISLAM.

    Four wives are allowed in ISLAM with strict conditions. Four wives are not mandatory. But unfortunately ARABS made them mandatory.

    well,what was his legitimate reason for marrying another woman?

    some men get a second wife so they can have kids,because their first wife isn't able to have any

    something like that

    my question for you is, why does he wish to marry again?

    (NOT enuff pazzazz in y'alls sex life or somethin'?)

    Excuse my bad manners, but um, i suggest you talk to your partner and ask him why the sudden thought? I wouldn't stannnd another woman in my man's arm. Just saying. But then again im nothing but a foolish child, why would my answer matter?

    -sigh-

    *EDIT*

    YEAH OKAY GIVE ME THUMBS DOWN! -.- overly sensitive losers <.<''

    Your lack of confidence comes from being a Muslim. His disrespect and adultery (yes, polygamy is adultery and ruins the sanctity of God's marriage) come from him following Islam. It's a misogynistic and false teaching, the opposite of what God wants for His creation.

    So make up your mind. Do you want to be a good Muslim? Then shut up about the 2nd wife since your allah gave your husband the right to abuse and humiliate you. You want to follow God? Leave this poor excuse for a man and accept Jesus as Lord. God said husband and wife are to become one. God created Eve just for Adam. Notice He didn't create another wife and then another and some concubines too, as that false god allah allows.

    Allah and all Muslim men have lied to you. They can control themselves if they want. My Grandfather was totally committed to my Grandmother for over 50 years. He was a Christian and gave his love to his soul mate only because he loved and respected her. Your husband is a pig.

    Maybe he did not want to, but Allah instructed him to take a second wife.

    If you disagree with your husband, then you disagree with the Quran. He's doing nothing wrong, but rather embracing something that the Quran allows.

    You know why the Quran allows it? Because it's either more wives or adultery. That's the problem with men.. wanting more women and sex. So Allah was like.. ok.. you'll get more wives so we don't have this problem.

    What would you rather have.. a alduterous husband or a husband abiding by the Quran? You know what the catch is? He has to treat you two equally. If he doesn't? You have grounds for divorce.

    assalamu aleikum.
