12. One who gets married to two sisters

without knowing that they are sisters If a man marries a woman then marries another, and later he finds out that they are sisters, he should be separated from the one he married last, according to 'Ali (&). It was narrated that Ibn Jurayj said: "I was told about 'Ali, with regard to a man who married a woman and consummated the marriage with her, then went to another city and married a woman and consummated the marriage with her, then found out that this was the sister of his first wife. He ruled that he should leave the second one and go back to the first one, but he should not go back to the first one until the 'iddah of the

'Ali ibn Abi Trilib second one was over."189 This 1s the view of the majority of jurists of different madb-hab~.'~~ Then evidence is that the marriage to the first woman was valid, whereas the marriage to the second woman was not valid and did not count.'g1
