Abstract This paper explores the Indonesian regulation
on polygamy for government officers. Some regulations have
formally issued and amended in terms of issues on polygamy;
regulation number 45 in 1990 is specially regulated polygamy
doer to get permission for marriage and divorce. Hence, aims of
this paper are to find out what punishments are given for civil
servants doing polygamy in terms of Indonesian regulation and
how the punishments given for civil servants in terms of Islamic
Marriage Law/fiqh are. As a library research, the regulation
number 45 in 1990 has been used as the data sources besides
Holly Qur’an, Hadist, fiqh books and compilation of Islamic
Laws. Thus, this research found out that civil servants who
broke the polygamy law could be fined by mount of IDR 7500
and some other punishments if his new marriage had no
consent from applied rules. Meanwhile, female civil servant
whose status was as second, third, or forth wife would be ceased
disrespectfully from her position as a civil servant. Secondly, in
Islamic law or fiqh, polygamy is obligated to fulfill ascertain
requirements. In sum, regulation also prohibited to do
polygamy since its negative impacts (mafsadah) are bigger than
positive one (mashlahah).
