Can a wife refuse her husband's second marriage if he denied her marital rights, had an affair, is unwilling to live with her, and she also wants separation before he remarries?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi
There are conditions in Islam for those who need more than one wife, with out fulfilling these conditions, they are not allowed but just one wife as we read in Quran (But if you fear that you shall not deal justly with more than one wife, then just one wife) (Sura Annisaa', verse 3).
If the husband is dealing with his wives justly and giving every wife her rights equally, none of wives has a right to object on his second marriage. She does not have a right to ask for separation or Talaq as far as he is giving her rights equally with practical justice.
If the husband is committing wrong or injustice, she can complain with authentic evidence to the Marje' of Taqleed.

If a husband is fasting but prevents his wife from fasting during Shaban and Rajab, what actions can she take to ensure she still receives the rewards of fasting during these months?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Husband can prevent his wife from recommended fasting if her fasting harms his rights as husband on her as his wife. Her intention to fast will definitely brings for her the reward of intending to fast. Her obedience to her husband is another reason for her to get more reward. She can also be busy in remembering Allah (SWT) to get more reward. There are specific recitation to get the reward of fasting for those who can not fast. You can find details in books of Du'a like Mafateeh Al-Jinan.

If the husband is fairly certain that penetration has occurred during foreplay but the wife is sure that it has not, how can they resolve their understanding?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Every one from them should act according to his knowledge. If husband is fairly sure that penetration has occurred, he then needs to perform Ghusl of Janabah because by penetration, he has become a Mujnib. If the wife is sure that penetration did not occur, then she is not in Janabah because of that foreplay unless she reaches to orgasm.
