Isteri yang ada lebih ramai anak patut dapat giliran lebih?

Tidak. Giliran adalah hak setiap isteri secara sama rata, bukan berdasarkan bilangan anak, usia, kecantikan atau sama ada isteri itu dara atau janda (selepas malam permulaan). Keadilan dalam giliran bermaksud setiap isteri mendapat masa yang sama dalam setiap kitaran, sesuai dengan tuntutan Surah an-Nisa' 4:3 dan larangan condong dalam 4:129. Namun nafkah boleh berbeza kerana keperluan anak berbeza, dan suami boleh meluangkan masa siang untuk anak-anak di rumah lain dalam batas yang dibenarkan. Jika semua isteri bersetuju dengan susunan lain, itu adalah hak mereka. Lihat Fiqh poligami dan Anak & poligami .

Should a wife with more children get more turns in the rotation?

No. The rotation is the equal right of every wife, not based on the number of children, age, beauty or whether the wife was a virgin or previously married (after the initial nights).
Justice in the rotation means each wife receives the same time in every cycle, in keeping with the requirement of Surah an-Nisa' 4:3 and the prohibition of inclination in 4:129. However, maintenance may differ because children's needs differ, and the husband may spend daytime with the children in another home within permitted limits. If all the wives agree to a different arrangement, that is their right. See Fiqh of polygyny and Children & polygyny.
