What are the conditions for polygyny in Indonesia?

The husband must obtain the permission of the Pengadilan Agama (Religious Court), and permission is given only if there are the prescribed reasons and conditions. Indonesia follows the principle of open monogamy (UU 1/1974 Article 3). Reasons (Article 4; KHI Article 57): the wife cannot perform her duties, has a physical disability or incurable illness, or cannot bear children. Conditions (Article 5; KHI Article 58): the wife's consent, assurance that the husband can guarantee the living needs of his wives and children, and a guarantee that he will be fair. The court summons and hears the wife, and examines financial evidence such as payslips. KHI Article 55 limits it to four wives, and Article 56 states that a second marriage without the Pengadilan Agama's permission has no legal force. See Indonesia.
