What must be stated in the declaration for a polygyny application?

The application must be accompanied by a declaration setting out important information about yourself and your dependants. In the Federal Territories, Act 303 section 23 requires the declaration to contain, among other things:
• the grounds on which the proposed marriage is just or necessary;
• the applicant's present income;
• particulars of financial commitments and obligations;
• the number of dependants, including those who will become dependants after the marriage;
• whether the consent or views of the existing wife have been obtained.
False information can harm the application and may be an offence. The form's format varies by state, so obtain the official form from the court. See polygyny procedure.
