Marriage

Question

Assalamualikum, I am a stay at home mom of three kids. I have been in a emotional and abusive relationship. This year my husband went back home and got engaged saying that he needs a wife to take care of his mom. my mother in law does'nt want to stay with her other children. I have always been trying to be a good wife according to our islam. My mother in law is trying to ruin my life and my husband is giving coperation in that matter. I really want my kids to have father and mothers blessings. I really need ur duas and wazifa so that my husband forgets everthing about his engagement and for his mother to stop putting poison in my huabands mind and thoughts. I feel that my mother in law has done some amal on my husband to follow her wishes and commands and not take care of his kids and wife. please help and guide me in this situation.

If your husband wants to remarry and he is capable to do so, then it is not permissible to prevent him from remarrying according to shari'ah. But if he is not able to do justice to the rights of the two wives, then he is not allowed to have a second wife. There are strong promises of divine retribution on this. 
You keep trying to attract him through your high morals, good manners, responsibilities, and behavior. Understand your husband's intentions and keep obeying him. Inshallah, this will improve the situation. 
At the same time, recite:  "یا بدیع العجائب بالخیر یا بدیع"  twelve hundred times for twelve consecutive days, and pray for improvement of the situation.
