A Bit Of Whine With Dinner?

In Britain, having a harem isn't as difficult as you might imagine. According to The Times of London,

Up to 4,000 British Muslim men have entered into polygamous marriages, some of them keeping as many as five wives, according to senior religious figures.

They have taken advantage of a loophole in the laws against bigamy by going through a “nikah” ceremony at a mosque rather than registering the marriages officially.

There's more.

Many are avoiding the expense and obligations of divorce, but an estimated 2,000 or more are men who wish to exercise their “right”, according to traditional interpretations of the Koran, to have as many as four wives.

Interesting.

In extreme cases, women brought from abroad, notably from Bangladesh, to marry a British Muslim have been victims of so-called honour killings by their families after being sent home when the relationship has failed.

We might be wrong, but polygamy seems to be a sure way to have a bit of whine with dinner. "But you said you loved me more..."

Enjoy dinner.
