Generally bigamy is against the law here… you intending to claim the exemption under Syariah law?

That’s allowed under Syariah law here?

“has specific reasons such as benefits the first marriage cannot provide but the second marriage can. "In this context, love is not one of the benefits", says the Registry of Muslim Marriages on its website.” what benefits???

You must not take another wife just because you fell out of love with the first. Instead, you marry the second wife because you can’t resist her and would commit adultery otherwise.

Others can correct me, but I believe this was also the practice documented in the Old Testament of the Bible as well.

Polygynous marriage
A polygynous marriage is when a man has more than one wife. A Muslim man may marry up to 4 wives at a time. To marry another wife, the man must fill in an application for polygyny and submit it in person to the ROMM. A fee of $380 is payable per application.

To be eligible for a polygnous marriage, the husband must:

Be capable of providing for the financial, physical and emotional well-being of his wives;
Have a good marriage life and is not taking on another wife because he currently does not have a good marriage life; and
Have specific reasons for taking on another wife, for example, benefits that can be provided by a new marriage that the existing marriage(s) cannot provide. However, love cannot be one of such benefits.
The Kadi, a religious official who solemnises Muslim marriages, will review all applications. Upon reviewing, the Kadi will hold separate appointments with the husband, each of his existing wives and the proposed spouse and take signed statements from each party.

From these statements and evidence provided by all parties, the Kadi will make a written judgment. This judgment will be posted to the man, with copies sent to his existing wives and proposed spouse.

If the marriage has been approved, an application for registration may then be made.

Isn’t one wife enough of a challenge?

Right but would sharing your affections not in some way be falling out of love with the first wife?

Find it hard to imagine there are people here who actually do this, I’ve NEVER met a man with multiple wives in all my years here.
