Marrying 2 Sisters At Once
If someone who had previously married 2 sisters and came from another religion to Islam. will he required to make a divorce with the woman he married later?
second case, If he was a Muslim but was not aware of this ruling and had nikah with 2 sisters then what would be the ruling for that man.
in the third case, if a Muslim did disobedience while knowing this ruling and went ahead with nikah with 2 sisters and with both of them he has children and family institution. now later he realizes and repents and corrects himself, will in this case will he be required to divorce the sister he married later? as leaving her would de-root a system of family and would create some social and emotional difficulties…, what’s the ruling in this case?

The same ruling will be for him. He doesn’t need to divorce any of them. What is done, is done.

@Irfan76 okay sir so even while the man knew about it’s hurmat, once he marries her, he won’t required to either divorce her or her sister. am I right sir?
sir will the demand of him divorcing the latter sister never arise from the moment he marries? or it will arise in initial stages but if it progresses to later stages then concession is given… is it like this? or the former?

The question of hurmat is for a Muslim. A Muslim is not allowed to marry two sisters at once. If he does, he has to leave one of them anyway.

@Irfan76 okay sir, i just have a logical question that. if a non Muslim previously who married 2 women at once and has family with both of them, is allowed to keep both of them.
on the other hand a Muslim who did disobedience, and married 2 sisters, one after another. and has now children with both. as you said that this Muslim will be told to leave one of the sister… i guess probably the scholars will say the woman married later, because this is where the anomaly lies.
my question is that what factor is allows one to keep and the other to not keep?
A – if it’s the basis of immorality of keeping 2 sisters in nikah at a time, then it’s same for both men….
B – if it’s because, now for the convert man, it will create difficulties for families, so the same difficulties will be created for the previously Muslim man too…
C – the third possible, factor can be, that even though this is immorality to keep both sisters. this immorality will be tolerated and concession is given as an exception to the convert Muslim because he didn’t deliberately disobey Allah while doing this act… But the previously faithful muslim is not entitled to this concession (even despite the difficulties having children with both women) as he deliberately disobeyed Allah…. is this the factor? because this is what is a distinguishing factor between 2 cases…
can you please explain me which factor is it? A, B or C?

Keeping two sisters in one nikah is immoral because it causes jealousy between two sisters and Allah does not want the close relation of sisters affected. Such a marriage is not considered even in non-Muslim societies. It was not considered good in Arab society either. However, those who did that were given a concession for not having the verdict from God then.
But now, for a Muslim, it is God’s command which he is not supposed to violate deliberately. If he does it deliberately, he has to compensate for it. He has to leave his wife.
However, this is highly speculative. No conscious Muslim is ever reported to marry two sisters.
