Penang and polygamy: Comment Oct 17, Nuraini Samad

Sustainable Living Institute (SAVE) said...


Penang show the way. Used to be Golok. The 'alims here want to fine tune what's in the Quran - syarat kursus la, kebenaran la. Delaying or worst barring marriage may result in illegal sex.
There are men who will abuse the prerogatives but that doesn't mean that all men are bad. How about on the female side? Andartus, widows etc need men to fulfill their family needs. Not all men want or can afford polygamy.
The positive perception is that the parties are Muslim enough to decide what's best for them and not so much for the society to unwisely (bordering unreligously) delimit the power of biological urge to procreate
