A muslim man does not need permission to take a second third or fourth wive even as it is his right to have up to 4. It is an act of kindness and respect for the husband to consult his wife so as she would not feel hurt or surprised by his choice. A wife does not make the final decision about that at all but the man is not supposed to be blind to the wife he already has in terms of her feelings.

Most women would tend to feel some hurt or jealousy but this is a apart of his rights as a muslim man. If the man fully intends to strive at treating the women the same then why shouldnt he be able to do it as Allah gave him this right. A man taking more than 1 wife might not just be a mercy to him but also to the new wife for she may have circumstances that would be very difficult for her if she were alone.

From what I have read in the Quran and Hadith in this matter before it seems that taking another wife is more for the protection and care of muslim women who might otherwise be destitute or be in a harmful situation and not just solely for the man's benefit although I am sure some think that way.

Permission is not required unless stipulated in a legal contract of marriage. However, seeking the permission of the wife is largely encouraged and recommended by most scholars.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
