May civil servants (PNS/ASN) in Indonesia practise polygyny?
It is possible with additional conditions: a male civil servant (PNS) must first obtain written permission from his office (superior), in addition to the permission of the Religious Court (Pengadilan Agama) (PP 10/1983 jo. PP 45/1990). A female civil servant, for her part, is not permitted to become a second, third or fourth wife, and a breach can bring heavy disciplinary penalties. An example of a regional regulation is Pergub DKI Jakarta No. 2 of 2025: according to a detikNews report, a male ASN may have more than one wife only if there is a reason, the wife's written consent, sufficient income, willingness to be just, no disruption to duties, and court permission. Governor Pramono Anung (February 2025) stated that he would not grant polygyny permission to Jakarta ASN during his administration. Members of the TNI/Polri are subject to their own internal regulations. See Indonesia.
