Jordan: what are the conditions for marrying a second wife?

In Jordan, the judge must check before conducting the akad of a man who is already married (Personal Status Law No. 15/2019, article 13). The judge must ensure that the husband is able to pay the prospective wife's mahr, able to provide maintenance for all his dependants, and that the prospective wife is informed that the man is already married. After the akad, the court informs the existing wife. The first wife's consent is not required. Article 79 requires the husband to be just in the rotation and maintenance. The akad must be documented by a judge or his deputy (article 36); an akad outside the court is punishable with a fine of up to JOD 200. In 2022, 7% of grooms in Jordan were already married (HPC/UNFPA 2023). See Middle East.
