Adakah isteri mandul atau sakit menjadi alasan kuat untuk poligami?

Keadaan seperti isteri mandul atau uzur jasmani disebut sebagai contoh alasan 'patut atau perlu' dalam Akta 303 seksyen 23 dan enakmen setara. Namun alasan ini sahaja tidak mencukupi. Mahkamah tetap menilai kemampuan kewangan, keupayaan berlaku adil, potensi darar syarie, dan kesan terhadap taraf hidup keluarga sedia ada. Bukti perubatan mungkin diminta, dan pandangan isteri akan didengar. Isteri yang sakit juga berhak terus mendapat nafkah, penjagaan dan giliran yang adil selepas suami berkahwin lagi. Tanggungjawab terhadapnya tidak gugur. Baca syarat poligami dan nafkah .

Is a wife's infertility or illness a strong reason for polygyny?

Circumstances such as a wife's infertility or physical infirmity are cited as examples of 'just or necessary' grounds in Act 303 section 23 and equivalent enactments. But these grounds alone are not enough. The court still assesses financial ability, the capacity to be just, the potential for harm recognised by Syariah law (darar syarie), and the effect on the living standard of the existing family. Medical evidence may be requested, and the wife's views will be heard. A wife who is ill is also entitled to continue receiving maintenance, care and a fair turn after her husband marries again. Responsibility towards her does not lapse. Read conditions for polygyny and maintenance.
