It’s the day of Hasan’s wedding. He’s cheerily sorting the last-minute details, including the menu (chicken, isn’t it always?) and the guest list, and now he’s off to the ceremony. “By the time I get back, inshallah, I’ll be happily married,” he beams, before hastily correcting himself. “I already am happily married!” Oops. You have to be careful what you say when you already have two wives.
Think of polygamy and Mormons come to mind, but The Men with Many Wives (Channel 4) claimed the practice is thriving in Britain’s Muslim community. The programme estimated there are as many as 20,000 polygamous marriages in this country, unrecognised by the British courts but permitted under Sharia law.
[TOP RATED COMMENT] One assumes that Hassan and his collection of wives and offspring are living at the expense of the British Taxpayer.
[SECOND] How else do they live? Parasites: I'm sorry if that offends but it's certainly not symbiotic.
[THIRD] "Then he was asked why he required all three wives to take the veil. “Some people, they put those sheets over their cars. They cover their valuables. In a similar way, my wife being covered is protection.”
You mean to say they don't feel "empowered" as the Guardian (of Islam) would have us believe? Looks like the French were right all along when they said it undermined female emancipation in France. But, of course, us Brits are being taken for a ride as we're too nice.
[FOURTH] No wonder they are queuing at Calais to get in. Wives galore, free housing, benefits, kids galore child allowance! Parasites. Please stop calling them British.
[FIFTH] I think these program makers are somewhat confused, there is no such thing as polygamy in the UK only bigamy and that is a criminal offence.
If these people are practising it and not being prosecuted it is clear that this is yet another law / convention applying to all UK citizens from which Muslims are apparently exempt and that is a matter that should concern every non muslim citizen in the UK.
You know your MP get onto him or her and ask some questions people. [The Telegraph] Read more
