Red Flag Four: Previous Marriages

“A Muslim man may get married more than once without divorcing his earlier wife, but the same does not apply to a Muslim lady.

To be a successful Muslim wife, show your husband love, respect, and affection, and ask that they treat you similarly. Share responsibility for your daily life and enjoy one another's company. Together you can strengthen each other's faith and live a pious and loving life in the service of Allah Subhana wa Ta'alaa.
