    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 443/433=M/1429)

     

    As per the Shariah, it is allowed to marry four women, but every person is unable to fulfil the condition of justice, equality and nuptial right. If you have the capability and can manage justice, then you can do second marriage with the consent of your parents explaining the whole situation before the parents of that girl. Otherwise, you should feel contended with only one wife. For the sake of second marriage, it is unlawful (haram) to deceive and tell a lie. You must keep every matter transparent and clear to everyone.
