Is 2nd marriage socially acceptable?

As per my knowledge is this info:-

In Islaam a man is permitted to have four wives

But he has to take the permission of the first wife to marry the second if to be done without talaaq

If talaaq(Divorce) is done then he doesn't need to seek permission like in any other religion

The second marriage is also done under serious circumstances like if they do not have a child(the woman is not able to reproduce)

those aristocratic times have gone that they would marry just out of liking for another woman

Misconceptions about Islaam should be cleared through the show as it is the vast medium to reach non Islaamic viewers

They should show all the positve things about Islaam instead of showing the Halala concept

It is not wise to do so in India Its ok in Pak because it is a norm for them but in India to digest such a thing is difficult

Sorry if have offended anyone not my intention

In Indian Muslim society though two or more marriages are allowed but not considered good...atleast in the places that I know of.

Many loose the respect to a person...who has 2 wives.

Hope this answers your question.

I'm a Muslim and I hope I can answer all your queries.
Islam permits 4 marriages but those marriages have got many terms and conditions.A man first of all needs to be financially capable of supporting all the 4 wives and giving them equal rights.No injustice can done to either of the 4 wives.One is not allowed to get into a second marriage for fun and pleasure.Serious issues like infertility allow the second,third or fourth marriage.Our Prophet[PBUH] had 4 wives,the first one was even many years older than him.
Some followers of Islam believe that a man needs permission from his first wife to marry the second,while the others don't believe the requisite of such a permission.
However,in no circumstances marriages are allowed for fun and money.

Indian society is still not open to a man having two wives without a divorce.So that it why the second marriage is looked down upon.Even in the muslim community people talk about the man who has married the second time without giving divorce to his first wife.But Islamically,if the man has gone for the second marriage according to the clauses mentioned,then that is religiously acceptable but if the marriage was done for selfish reasons,the marriage is religiously also unacceptable.
People today marry second/third/fourth time but don't follow the circumstances under which such marriages are allowed.
In a country like India,second marriage is not acceptable in the minds of people eventhough it is legally allowed.
In many foreign countries second marriage is socially and legally acceptable.
Qubool Hai is trying to show this ill thing only.It is quite clear from the story that Rashid had divorced Dilshad,so in this case the whole situation is very much legal and socially acceptable also.Haseena is a money digger and she has got her own selfish reasons to break the engagement.She is a perfect drama queen.
Since second marriage is not well taken in the Indian society,Rashid's family tried to hide this important fact.they were afraid that the alliance may not happen if this truth comes out and this is exactly what happened when the truth unfolded today.
It was quite expected from Haseena that she'll break the engagement after knowing this truth.People still need to come interms with divorces and second marriages with/without divorce in India.
I hope your confusions are clear now.
Take care!
