Research carried out in the field is to examine problems that are qualitative. The results found that the Determination Form of a husband who has more than one wife (Itsbat Polygamy) is not acceptable as long as it is not in accordance with legal procedures, the application letter must be in the form of a controversial form, ie having the previous wife as the Respondent while the petition for the marriage is underage, the designation form was rejected.
