What is the minimum salary to be allowed polygyny?

No minimum salary figure is set in law. The court assesses your means as a whole: net income, debts and commitments, the number of dependants, the cost of living where each wife lives, and whether the new marriage would lower the standard of living of the existing wife and children. A salary that looks high may be considered insufficient if loan commitments are large or dependants are many. Prepare income statements, a list of expenses and a proposed monthly maintenance for each household. Use the calculator and two-household finances for an early estimate before applying.
