"Oh dear..another one" Yes a man can have up to 4 wives according to shariah law but there are many conditions applied to polygyny . among them is that the man should fear Allah and treat all wives with equality. As for the OP, it seems the two of them have been having a "relationship" which is itself haraam in Islam. Hence I hope Chrystal you think hard about this situation. Do you really want a man who cheated on his wife?As a convert I don't know how much you have learned about Islam in one year so perhaps you are unaware of the sinful aspect of your whole courtship. Do you expect Allah to bless your marriage when its built on what's unlawful?think long and hard and fear Allah. Anyways I know this is not what you seek counsel on but as your sister I cannot leave this post without advising you. as for if you can get married then sure you can..legally. I know many sisters who have become second wives here in Qatar. Yes there are regulations involved but I'm guessing nothing too complicated. However heed the advice of Brit...are you sure the guy's for real? Barakhallah feeki dear sis..May Allah guide you to do what's right. Wasalaam
