Husband lying to his second wife's family regarding the number of his children from his ex-wife
Q 3: A man divorced his wife and married another woman. When he proposed to the second woman, (Part No. 20; Page No. 222) he told her and her family that he had three children from his ex-wife, and they accepted this. However, after marriage, it was discovered that he had five children not three. As a result, the wife's maternal uncle adopted a negative attitude towards the husband - of course this was after the marriage - and asked him to divorce his niece as the husband had lied. Is the husband obligated to divorce his wife due to this lie, bearing in mind that the wife’s father and mother have not asked him to divorce her?
A: He is not obligated to divorce her for this reason, and it is not permissible for her maternal uncle to object. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, his family, and Companions.
