A Woman’s Refusal of Plural Marriage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: Is there any blame on a woman who refuses plural marriage from the standpoint of her religion?

Answer:
It is not a matter of her personal preference that she refuses it. However, if she says, “I do not accept it because I have other wives,” there is nothing wrong with that; it is her right. Yes.
