What is the polygyny procedure in Singapore?

In Singapore, a Muslim man who wishes to marry again must apply to the Registrar of Muslim Marriages (ROMM). The relevant provision is in the Administration of Muslim Law Act (AMLA), section 96. A Kadi may not solemnise the marriage without this approval. The Registrar will assess the application, including financial means, the reasons for the marriage and the views of the existing wife, who is usually called for an interview. Approval is not automatic. A dissatisfied applicant may appeal under the AMLA procedure. Check the official ROMM website for the latest requirements, and see Singapore.
