=== Conditioning Permissibility and Validity on First Wife's Consent ===
=== Conditioning Permissibility and Validity on First Wife's Consent ===
[[Yousef Saanei]] considers the principle of permissibility and also the validity of polygyny to be conditioned, both in terms of religious duty (Taklifan) and situational validity (Wad'an), on the consent of the first wife. In his belief, remarriage is only permissible when it is not Munkar (disapproved) and offensive to the first wife, but rather accepted and consented to by her. Saanei, pointing to the verse "Wa 'ashiruhunna bil-ma'ruf" ([[Verse 19 of Surah An-Nisa|Nisa/ 19]]), which emphasizes the necessity of consorting with women in kindness, argues that remarriage without the consent of the first wife and annoying her is contrary to this Quranic command and is therefore not permissible Taklifan, and Wad'an, its contract is void. Only if the first wife consents out of free will and choice, not out of coercion and pressure, is there no obstacle.<ref>Saanei, "Discussion regarding the Family Protection Bill", in Safir-e Hayat Magazine.</ref>
