<![CDATA[The focus of this research is to analyze contemporary interpreters' interpretations of polygamy. The author utilizes a purely qualitative descriptive research approach through an interpretive literature study. Some contemporary commentators in Indonesia, such as Hasbi, believe that permission for polygamy is not forced except for people who really believe they can act fairly and avoid cheating, and if a wife is no longer able to fulfill her obligations as a wife, such as she is old or suffering from illness.
