A woman stipulating that her husband not marry another woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for a woman to stipulate that her husband not marry another woman, and is this a prohibition of what is permissible?

Answer:
She does not prohibit what is permissible for him, but she says he should not marry another woman, because this competes with her, and she has a valid interest in it, and he has the right to prohibit marriage. If he marries, even if it is prohibited for him, if he marries, but if he marries another woman and violates the condition, she is entitled to the value.
