Polygamy and the Implementation of Sharia Law in non-Islamic countries
How many wives are permitted in say – Germany?
According to sharia – four. You may think this only happens in Islamic countries but that would be wrong. For example, in Germany, there is no requirement for Imams to register marriages. To marry a second, third or fourth wife without acknowledging the first, it is only necessary to use a different Imam. The situation is problematic for social services because many women, who appear to be married, are collecting benefits and experiencing other difficulties, but higher levels of government seem unwilling to acknowledge or address it. (i-iii)
“…marry other women of your choice, two, or three, or four” Koran 4:3
It is in this way that through the practice of sharia – the ordained way of Islam - parallel legal system are being introduced and contribute to the Islamization of non-Islamic countries.
In the UK, there are over 80 sharia courts where a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man’s (iv), and the EU Parliamentary Assembly reported that “Sharia councils clearly discriminate against women in divorce and inheritance cases”(v)
Mohammed’s wife Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!" Books can be purchased describing how to beat them properly (vi) and they suffer in the next world as well – Mohammed said hell was mostly full of women who were ungrateful to their husbands.
Whether in Canada or elsewhere, multiple marriages can occur wherever Islam is practiced as this is the husband’s right according to sharia. (vii)
Mohammed said “... If I were to command anyone to make prostration before another I would command women to prostrate themselves before their husbands, because of the special right over them given to husbands by Allah.”
Keep in mind that a Muslim man can divorce his wife any time he wants to by simply saying ‘I divorce you’. The third time he does this he cannot take her back without her marrying someone else first. (viii) Conversely, a woman needs her husband’s permission to divorce.
According to a handbook of sharia “The husband is only obliged to support his wife when she gives herself to him or offers to, meaning she allows him full enjoyment of her person and does not refuse him sex at any time of the night or day.” (ix)
Mohammed had 13 wives and there was no limit to the number of sex slaves ‘that the right hand possesses’ for himself or his followers. Child marriage is permitted for the same reason, Mohammed married Aisha when she was six and consummated the marriage when she was nine.
Koran 65:4 The Divorce’ specifies the waiting period for “… those who have not menstruated…” is three months.
In Iran, over 7,000 girls under the age of 14 were married in only 3 months in 2020 (x) and a virgin child may be married without her consent.
“Your wives are a tilth for you, so go into your tilth when you like…’ Koran 2:223
How many wives is the question.
