Marriage Legalities

There are some individuals here in Doha who's legally married in our country. But since he's converted into Islam he married a very young lady without consent of his spouse and family. Is that acceptable? It's not fair to his wife and his family.

No, his second marriage is not legal in the Philippines.

Yes! It is acceptable in the Islamic point of view. As a Muslim, he doesn't need consent from his first wife to remarry another woman of his choice, but at least to inform her regarding his second marriage. His marriage to his second wife is valid here in Qatar and in his home country as a Muslim.

I don't know if this is legal or not since I am not from Qatar....but I truly don't like the idea at all.... It looks like he wants to have a piece of cake on both countries, and by just making it legal everything is OK
