🏛️ Polygyny: the law · #85
My husband handed me a letter of consent to polygyny and asked me to sign it immediately. Should I sign?
Do not sign in a hurry; you have the right to take time to read, think and ask. A letter like this may be taken to court as evidence of your view, so make sure its contents truly reflect what you want. Read every line carefully. If there is anything you disagree with or do not understand, do not sign yet. You can say, ‘Give me a few days to think about it.’ If you agree on certain conditions, ask for those conditions to be written clearly. A syarie lawyer or an officer at the religious affairs office can help explain its effect. The court will still hear your own view at the hearing. See wife agrees, still need to go to court.
