Islamic Marriage

Submitted by harper520 (United States), Jul 14, 2009 at 00:28

I certainly appreciate your opinion and advice but I have made my decision to continue in this relationship and to find out what that means exactly. My boyfriend has proposed that we get married Islamically until he can obtain( buy) a divorce from his current wife. Again, he has only spent two weeks with her and that was just after they were married and he has not seen her since and now she is upset that he asked for a divorce because she also has found someone else she wants to marry ( she said this made her appear to be a cheater) and refuses to talk to him at all. I have agreed to marry this way until such time we can be legally married in the US

. Is anyone here a second wife or in a similar situation? I'd appreciate any advice or thoughts on this. Thanks.
