Is it permissible for a wife to stipulate to her husband that he not marry another woman?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to stipulate to her husband that he not marry another woman?

Answer:
Yes, it is permissible for her to do so, because she has a valid purpose. However, she does not prevent him from marrying. If he marries while she has stipulated that he not marry, she has the option: if she wants to stay with him, she stays, and if she wants to annul the marriage, she annuls it. Yes.
