Marital problems
Question
1. I would like to know what is the punishment for a man who does not treat his wives equally?
2. Also a man has taken a second wife. She is a divorcee and her first husband was having an affair with a woman of disrepute. Now the first wife is very concerned about herself with regard to her H.I.V status. Does she have a right to request that the second wife take a test and that she is shown the results before continuing relations with her husband?
Answer
1. His condition will be pathetic on the Day of Qiyaamah.
2. She does not have a right. As a precaution she may make the request.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
