We have no English equivalent; so I translate indifferently co-wife, co-consort, sister-wife or sister in wedlock. In this matter of the article, however, it is impossible to lay down a universal rule: in some cases it must be preserved and only practice in the language can teach its use. For instance, it is always present in Al-Bahrayn and al-Yaman; but not necessarily so with Irak and Najd.
