wa 'alaykumus-salaamu wa rahmatullaah. Shaykh Wasee Allaah mentioned the following position on this issue at the haram during one of his classes (in Fathul-Baaree) earlier this year: That taking a second wife is something halaal, not waajib, so if a a man is requested to agree to such a condition in the contract, he would be agreeing to avoid something that is halaal to avoid, so it would be a permissible condition, and an obligation to fulfill if agreed to. It is his choice to agree to it or not. And Allaah knows best.
