🏛️ Polygyny: the law · #119

My husband cited my shortcomings as the reason for his polygyny application. I feel deeply humiliated. How do I face this?

Feeling ashamed and hurt is natural, but the reasons in an application do not determine your worth. Hearings are usually held in private, so those details are not disclosed to the public. You have the right to correct anything inaccurate. Write a list of the statements you dispute and prepare facts or evidence, for example treatment records or how you have run the home all this time. Answer calmly before the judge without retaliating by exposing your husband's faults. If the shortcoming is true, such as an illness, a health trial is not a wrongdoing. Talk with a counsellor to heal this wound. See feeling not good enough.
