Family Life and Marriage.

Hare Krsna Devotees,

I am  a commoner and also a beginner in K.C, In my family, my uncle is having constant fights with his wife. His age is around 52 and his wife around 50. From the time of marriage till now they are constantly in conflicts where he even beats her. Yesterday my Aunty i.e his wife came to us and shared her pains after a long time. She said, now your Uncle is going around the town and declaring that I am going to remarry because there is no one to take care of him or the house.(His wife is unable to bear the pain and is now living in her mother's house alone). We counselled him not to do this act but he said, when other people in town are having two wives, why shouldn't I?  He is a common man and is working as Govt employee as well doing purohit work.

My question is, is a common man permitted to keep more than a wife as per our scriptures?

I heard in a lecture that a common man is not allowed to keep more than a wife whereas the kshatriyas are allowed to? Please correct me where I am wrong and also clear this doubt of mine

Haribol.

  • Situation is not that good. My empathy is with the sufferers. As per law of the land, Hindu man can not have more than 1 wife.
