      Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Yes, the document is legitimate. It clearly states a condition that if the husband marries another woman, the first wife will be divorced with one irrevocable Talaq (Talaq B\u0101\u2019in). Since the wording is clear and the husband signed it voluntarily, even if he did not verbally say “Talaq”\u2014the written declaration holds legal weight in Hanafi fiqh.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. If the husband proceeds to marry a second wife, the condition mentioned in the document is fulfilled, and the first wife will be automatically divorced with one irrevocable Talaq (Ba\u2019in). The nikah with the first wife will end at that point, and she will no longer be his wife.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
