What questions does the judge usually ask during a polygyny application?

The judge usually asks about reasons, finances, justice and household plans. Common questions include:
• Why do you wish to marry again?
• What is your net income and what are your monthly commitments?
• How much maintenance is proposed for each wife and child?
• Where will each wife live?
• How will the rotation of nights be arranged?
• Does the existing wife know, and what is her position?
The existing wife will also be asked for her views. The actual questions depend on the judge and the facts of the case. Answer honestly and bring supporting documents. See maintenance and polygyny procedure.
