چکیده:
Numerous discussions have been held among Muslim thinkers regarding polygamy or multiple wives in the Holy Quran, and various perspectives have been presented on it. A group has defended it and considered it necessary for certain reasons, believing that: sometimes a man is forced to take another wife to maintain piety and keep his chastity from impurity. On the other hand, polygamy is an opportunity for those women who, due to reasons such as the death of a husband or divorce, do not find the opportunity to marry. In contrast, a group has criticized polygamy. In their view, polygamy carries the risk of violating the rights of the first wife. Furthermore, polygamy may pit spouses against each other and create problems for them. Additionally, polygamy puts the survival of the family at risk; because usually the entry of a second wife into a man's life brings many tensions to his family relationships, and children are not immune to its harms.

The present writing examines and evaluates the various approaches to polygamy in three sections: 'permission', 'prohibition', and 'limitation'.

Furthermore, given that temporary marriage is exempt from the rulings of the third verse of Surah An-Nisa, a man can marry as many wives as he wishes through temporary contracts, without being obliged to observe the number four or the condition of justice.
Limitation by the consent of the current spouse At present, some have considered the husband's discretion in polygamy to be limited by the consent of the first wife and have written: A man's remarriage without the consent of the first wife is, in my opinion, haram and a sin, and from a Sharia perspective, it is a crime; if the first wife does not give her consent after the marriage contract of the second wife, this contract has no legal effect...
