Polygamy is the practice of marriage in which a husband has more than one wife. Indonesian law permits this practice, as stipulated in Article 3 of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, which reads:

(1) In principle, a man may only have one wife. A woman may only have one husband.
(2) The court may grant permission to a husband to have more than one wife if desired by the parties concerned.

In Indonesia, men who intend to practice polygamy must apply for permission to the court in their area of residence.

According to data on the official website of the Bojonegoro Class 1A Religious Court, in 2022, the most polygamy applications in East Java originated from Surabaya.

The following are the 12 regencies/cities in East Java with the most polygamy applications in 2022:

1. Surabaya City: 20 applications
2. Sidoarjo Regency: 18 applications
3. Banyuwangi Regency: 15 applications
4. Mojokerto Regency: 9 applications
5. Jombang Regency: 7 applications
6. Madiun Regency: 7 applications
7. Tuban Regency: 7 applications
8. Tulungagung Regency: 6 applications
9. Gresik Regency: 6 applications
10. Jember Regency: 6 applications
11. Magetan Regency: 6 applications
12. Malang City: 6 applications

In total, throughout 2022, there were 169 polygamy applications from all regencies/cities in East Java.

Only three areas did not record such applications, namely Madiun City, Ngawi Regency, and Sumenep Regency.

The Bojonegoro Class 1A Religious Court did not detail how many polygamy applications were granted by the court.

However, according to Article 4 of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, the court only grants permission for polygamy if:

* The wife is unable to fulfill her duties as a wife;
* The wife suffers from a physical disability or incurable illness;
* The wife is unable to bear children.
