Unable to Have More Children: Is It Wise to Suggest Polygyny? Enquiry: I've reached a point where I don't feel capable of having or raising more children. Because I know my husband still desires a larger family, I have considered suggesting that he marry another woman who would be willing to have children with him. How should I approach this matter, and what you would advise? Advice: The decision to stop having more children should be a mutual one, taking into consideration all relevant factors. Islam encourages having many children; in fact, this is one of the primary reasons marriage was legislated. However, if there is a valid reason, it may be more advisable to space pregnancies out rather than stop having children altogether.

Few women would find it easy to voluntarily give their husband this level of freedom. Although he does not require your permission, your support for such a decision demonstrates maturity and an understanding of his needs. However, you must be certain that this is truly what you want, because a decision like this can be very difficult to reverse once he marries. You will need a great deal of patience. I understand that, at the moment, since you're not yet in that situation, it may feel easy to offer this opportunity to him. However, once you are actually living that reality, it can become much more difficult to maintain the same level of composure and maturity, as emotions can become very intense. This is a post for you to reflect upon: https://t.me/madrasatunaa/243 If, after giving the matter proper thought and reflection, you are still content with proposing this to him, then feel free, may Allah grant you all tawfeeq. Otherwise, the fundamental principle is that a husband who can maintain justice between his wives may proceed, even without the blessing of his current wife. Source: https://t.me/womensbenefits/1722
