Question:
If a woman stipulates to her husband that he not marry another woman, is this a valid condition?
Answer:
Yes, that he not marry another woman. If he marries another, she has the option to remain or to dissolve the marriage. This is a valid condition because she does not want to share her husband or have a co-wife, as that causes her harm and distress. She may stipulate this, but it does not bind the husband nor prevent him from marrying. If he marries, she has the option: if she wishes, she remains, and if she wishes, she dissolves the marriage. Yes.
