The other side of the debate;

I don't expect the UK to change it's laws but I think that masjids and sharia committees should do more to educate the men who practice polygamy on their responsibilities and protect the rights of the sisters and children involved - especially second and third wives.

 

On the other hand, it does raise the issue of equality between the wives and whether men are allowed to marry more than one in the context of the sharia ’if you can’t treat them equally, than marry only one’ when they choose to live under the British legal framework. Also, in light of the sharia ruling on secret marriages. Hmmm.

In America, the debate rages on and in the website listed below you can read stories of women who not only enjoy being in a polygamous marriage - they believe it liberates them. One goes so far to say that it's the 'ultimate feminist lifestyle' because the other wives can make sure the childcare is sorted and the husband never has to put up with a TV dinner.

This made me laugh. As an ultra-feminist (nod to A&T), I missed the memo where concern over the husband's eating arrangements figured largely in the 'ultimate feminist lifestyle'.

^LOL. Well, better late than never, eh?

 

I wish you both, 40-days of wedded bliss.
