Rabbi Elyashiv cited the ban of Rabbeinu Gershom against taking two wives. However, the speaker argued that the ban of Rabbeinu Gershom was only valid until the end of the fifth millennium, and they were already in the sixth millennium.
When Rabbi Elyashiv was absent from the Beit Din due to illness, the Rabbi called Ohana to Jerusalem. He appointed Rabbi Reuven Sinai as a temporary Dayan and, with another Dayan, granted Ohana the permit for a second wife.
The man, Ohana, established a family with sons who became Torah scholars and heads of Yeshivas. This positive outcome was attributed to the permit granted by the Rabbi.
