Removing the Myths Shrouding Islamic Polygamy
In most religious and non-religious countries around the world it is a given that a traditional marriage consists of one man and one woman. The most accepting of countries may even allow two men or two women to marry, but rarely will you hear of one man and multiple women. In fact, in the UK and many other places around the world, marrying an individual whilst already married to another is classed as bigamy and is a criminal offense which can land you in prison. However, if you look hard enough you will find successful marriages that consist of exactly that. These marriages, however, aren’t recognised by law as marriage; infact these marriages are really just a relationship in which each partner assumes the roles and responsibilities of a marriage, but without the certificate to confirm it.
