Relying on the verse [[Surah An-Nisa, Verse 19|“And live with them honorably”]] (Nisa, 19), Sa'anei argues that a second marriage is statutorily impermissible and has a void (batil) status in case of first wife's discontent that involves harassing her.<ref>[https://saanei.xyz/?view=01,02,48,378,0 “Interview with Ayatollah Sa'anei regarding the Family Protection Bill”], Information Portal of Ayatollah Sa'anei.</ref> And in his opinion, the legitimacy of temporary marriage is limited only to emergency and exceptional cases such as long wars, and promoting it as a solution alongside permanent marriage not only does not prevent corruption but leads society toward collapse by endangering the family unit and promoting licentiousness. Sa'anei's primary solution for addressing the challenges of the youth is the removal of economic and cultural barriers and the facilitation of permanent marriage, rather than resorting to temporary marriage.<ref>[https://saanei.xyz/?view=01,05,13,309,0 “Temporary Marriage and its Conditions and Limits”], Information Portal of Ayatollah Sa'anei.</ref> | ||
