Muslim scholar shares his take on polygamy

According to a Muslim scholar, Ismaeel Ibn Hamzah, a husband and wife may agree on conditions before marriage, but scholars differed on whether a condition like: “You must not marry another wife (no polygamy)” is binding.

"View 1: It is permissible and binding (Hanbali view; held by many scholars) If the husband agrees before nikāḥ that he will not take another wife, then he should honor that condition. If he breaks it, the wife may have the right to seek annulment/divorce according to some jurists.

View 2: It is disliked or not binding (many Hanafis, Malikis, Shafiʿis) Because polygymy itself is permitted in Sharīʿah, they argued a condition cannot permanently forbid what Allah allowed. However, the husband is still expected to honour promises and agreements," he said.
