‘Shariah Allows Polygamy’: Libyan Women Are ‘Unsettled’ by the Return of Polygamy

Women in Libya and the allied countries that helped oust Muammar Gadhafi are feeling “unsettled” since the head of the interim government Mustafa Abdel-Jalil suggested last week that unrestricted polygamy will be allowed in the North African country where it’s been “limited and rare for decades.” Calling it “a sizable step backward for women,” the New York Times reports:
In his speech, Mr. Abdel-Jalil declared that a Qaddafi-era law that placed restrictions on multiple marriages, which is a tenet of Islamic law, or Shariah, would be done away with. The law, which stated that a first wife had to give permission before others were added, for instance, had kept polygamy rare here.
“This law is contrary to Shariah and must be stopped,” Mr. Abdel-Jalil told the crowd, vowing that the new government would adhere more faithfully to Shariah. The next day he reiterated the point to reporters at a news conference: “Shariah allows polygamy,” he said.
Under Islamic law, a man can marry up to four wives concurrently. New York Times correspondent Adam Nossiter gauged the reaction of university students and found that even the women who support Shariah law weren’t happy with the idea of polygamy:
“All the girls are mad that he said that,” said Bushra ben Omran, a 20-year-old English student. “I don’t want to marry somebody who is already married.”
Rehab Zehany, 20, who said Mr. Abdel-Jalil was merely following the dictates of the Koran, added, when asked if she would accept her husband taking a second wife: “Of course not! I would kill him!”
Polygamy is practiced in parts of the Islamic world. Multiple-wife families are also part of the fabric of the influx of Muslim immigrants to Europe, a phenomenon that is challenging both the rule of law and the welfare system. In a somewhat sympathetic look at polygamy titled “The British Muslim men who love ‘both their wives’” the BBC last month reported the number of polygamous relationships among British Muslims is increasing, including among children of immigrants born in Britain:
Khola Hassan, a lecturer in Islamic Law and volunteer on the UK Sharia Council says she has witnessed a sense of a right to polygamy develop particularly amongst third generation British Muslims.
When she was growing up in Britain 20 years ago she says no-one talked about polygamy as it was incredibly rare. However in the last 15 years she has noticed more polygamous marriages taking place.
Bigamy is a criminal offense in Britain carrying a maximum jail term of seven years. BBC and other news outlets report that to avoid prosecution, already-married Muslim men may hold an under-the-radar religious ceremony called Nikah which is never registered as a civil marriage.
This practice provides opportunity to exploit the UK’s ample social benefits system, as described by the Daily Mail:
The social workers said the multiple marriages are encouraged by a welfare system which allows a second, third or fourth wife to be treated as a single mother who gets a house and an array of other state payments for herself and her children.
Controversially, it means that a man can take a new spouse (from anywhere in the world), sire any number of children with her, and yet have no responsibility for this family’s upkeep or care.
The phenomenon of Muslim polygamy is not unknown to North America, despite the illegality. NPR reported in 2008 that an unknown number of Muslim men in the U.S. “have quietly married multiple wives.” Last week, The Blaze reported on the polygamous Afghan immigrant who – along with his second wife – is charged with murdering their three daughters and his first wife, in what Canadian prosecutors are labeling an Islamic “honor killing.”
Just two weeks ago, Reuters captured this image of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sharing a wide smile and V for victory with the Libyan fighters. When she hears polygamy touted in post-war Libya, is this champion of women’s rights still smiling?

Muslim men under Sharia law are the weakest human beings to ever roam the face of the Earth. If they were required to endure the life they demand of the women, they’d weep like little babies.

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 9:08amSo pretty much the strategy goes like this:
1) Incite 20-something year olds to violence and take to the streets. The youth surely know better than their parents. (sarcasm) Oh and be sure to either inflate their egos or dumb down the culture ahead of time
2) Give world-wide praise when foreign entities band together to overthrow the leadership in the name of democracy.
3) Institute the brand of government the leadership of those foreign entities prefer
4) The youth say “hey……we don’t like this. This isn’t what we want.”
Can anyone draw a line to the Occupy idiots? The sad part of all of this is that the same, used strategies seem to work time after time.

Polygamy is bad. You might want to look at Mazdak who lived during the reign of Kavad I. He advocated abolishing polygamy & harems. You should look at the reasons he did so. One of the better things that Mohammed did was limit the practice of polygamy. It was a big deal to limit a rich men to 4 wives during Mohammed’s times. He would have limited polygamy altogether, if he could have, but he wanted to live.
If you think the social unrest is bad now, you have not seen anything yet. This unrest is over money. If everyone has enough food & money, they will have plenty of time to think of what is next on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. That will be companionship. What will you do when you have hordes of educated men & no partner? Convince them that they are gay? Start a war & tell them to conquer & take the harems as booty. If the whole world was Muslim, who would you war against?
Are you or some harem owner willing to machine gun down men protesting lack of companionship due to the practice of polygamy?
You have been schooled fool.

How far would a moderate Muslim take their religion.
in defiance of, the laws of the land.
would it be a stretch, that you would want other religions,

At what point, do you conform to the U.S. LAWS.?
OR IS IT THE GOAL OF A MODERATE MUSLIM,
TO CONFORM THE U.S. TO YOUR RELIGION..?
I’m finding it harder every passing day,To see the lines,
between a moderate and the extreme muslim.
It looks to me ,as a moderate Muslim gains more power ,
the less they seperate themself,from the extremist.
At what point are they one and the same.?
At what point does Muslim stop reading the KORAN,
and say to themself,I’m not following that law.?
thanks for the insight..
I’ll draw my own conclusion..

When they stop believing they’re free then they are not free. if people freely choose polygamy-they are free. Whether we like it or not.If there ariises a clash between men and women then of course the women are not free. Unless and untill it reaches a critical mass there can be differences in the culture that they can work it out.Unless of course a tyranical regime is imposed again.if you are so appalled then have an open door policy for Libyan women.

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 4:40amWell then, no problem here. Maybe I don’t understand this story. You are right and the women over there have nothing to worry about. I think the real meaning is that Libyan women are very happy, not worried. Well, it is refreshing to find somebody like you that has the truth over millions of ignorant Muslims that don’t know what the heck they are talking about. Maybe the Libyan leader was trying to say the opposite…..well, who knows……Thank you very much for your kind lesson.

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 8:11pmDefinition of polygyny:
po·lyg·y·ny /pəˈlɪdʒəni/ Show Spelled[puh-lij-uh-nee] Show IPAnoun 1.the practice or condition of having more than one wife at one time.
po·lyg·a·my /pəˈlɪgəmi/ Show Spelled[puh-lig-uh-mee] Show IPAnoun 1.the practice or condition of having more than one spouse, especially wife, at one time.
Sorry, don’t know how to do bold on this site, but it does state ESPECIALLY WIFE. When they speak of polygamy in the Mormon community, they don’t mean more than one husband. it’s the same with Islam.

“There are many more rapes in the US than in all muslim countries combined.”
First: Rape is a travesty. It’s murder in a way to any woman/child. So, whoever/wherever commits it will be held accountable by God.
Second: Rape is not reported in muslim countries because 1). A women & children are fearful of the consequences of reporting something that‘s not defined in the ignoble Qur’an as being illegal. 2). Even if the ignoble Qur’an did consider a man taking advantage of a Woman or PER-PUBESCENT CHILD (which is rape too, brain-child) illegal, a womans word is worth half of a mans. So, it can’t be prosecuted (hence, no charges or cases of rape).
And again, muslims marry and consummate marriage with per-pubescent children. That is more than 80% of the rape statistics you’re quoting from the US. “Statutory Rape?” Ever heard of it? Of course not, because rape is not considered rape in islam it’s considered a muslim mans right to pervertedness.

Everything above this line is made up, it’s all a lie! This is just made up out of whole cloth! Again, where are your facts to back up what you are saying. If what you are saying is try, how come these prepubescent girls are not on TV? We have American soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines in Muslim countries along with the media and they are not reporting anything like that. They are in Yemen, Pakistan, Iraq, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Afghanistan.
You‘ve got correspondent’s from CNN, FoxNews, MSNBC PBS and NPR their.

Typical muslim runaround. I don’t quote misinformation, Brother.
Proof that pre-pubescent sex is not only allowed, but promoted in islam:
“Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the prescribed period, if ye have any doubts, is three months, and for those who have no courses (it is the same): for those who carry (life within their wombs), their period is until they deliver their burdens: and for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy.” Qur’an 65:4
Mujahid said that “if you have any doubt” (65:4) means if you do not know whether she menstruates or not. Those who do not longer menstruate and those who have not yet menstruated, their ‘idda is three months.
Sahih Al-Bukhari, Chapter 68: Book of Tafsir
In the news- “Muslims in Pakistan Kidnap, Rape Christian Girl” http://www.compassdirect.org/english/country/pakistan/21649 s/n: Statistics show that only 2% of the population of Pakistan is Christian, but 700 girls (like in the story above) are kidnapped, raped, and forcibly converted to islam. Reference: http://frontpagemag.com/2011/07/11/pakistans-christian-sex-slaves-a-case-study/
More evidence needed of the SICK PERVERTED minds of islam?
“Pakistani Christians won’t convert to islam, so muslim MAN rapes 2 yr old daughter” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2R3B6F14rY
