Breaking a contract regarding taking another wife
Question
I married a sister about 18 months ago. She had a contract in which I signed that stated I cannot have another wife for five years. Due to unavoidable circumstances I married another wife. Is my first nikkah still valid?
Answer
Yes.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
