🏛️ Polygyny: the law · #72
I am self-employed and my income is not fixed. How do I prove my ability in a polygyny application?
Show an honest, documented financial picture over a reasonable period, not just the figures for your best month. For business owners or freelancers, evidence can include business and personal bank statements, sales records, tax statements, and a list of monthly commitments. Gather several months of documents so that the ups and downs of your income are clear. Also prepare a realistic budget for two households, including when business is slow. The court assesses your ongoing ability to support all wives and children, so an uncertain income needs to be backed by savings or real planning. A syarie lawyer or court officer can explain which documents are accepted in your state. See two-household finance calculator.
