What is the ruling on family members objecting to plural marriage?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man wants to practice plural marriage, but his family objected to him doing so, and even the wife did. Should he continue to pay attention to them?

Answer:
He does what he sees to be in his own interest. He does what he sees to be in his own interest. And Allah has permitted plural marriage. If he is able to be just in financial maintenance, clothing, housing, and lodging, then he may practice plural marriage. Even if so-and-so or so-and-so is not pleased. Because Allah is pleased with this for him. Allah is pleased with this and has legislated it, so no one objects to the ruling of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
