Re: Are Pakistanis in Britain disturbed by this trend?
I wouldn’t have a problem with this trend if:
- the first wife is okay with it
- the man doesn’t marry more out of lust, or he has fallen in love or some crappy excuse like that
- Its disturbing that some people see it as some sort of distinct Islamic and meritorious practice. After all our Prophet(SAW) himself was married to only one woman in his youth and he only took more wives 2 years after her death due to social, political or economic reasons.
- and to see people think of it as a ‘right’. Well its the right of a wife to be paid for any housework and have separate accommodation. Lets just reduce marriage to a crude legal relationship that consists of just two words ‘rights’ and ‘responsibilities’.
The Prophet(saw) said ’ don’t like the tasters,men and women’. ‘Allah doesn’t like the tasters, men and women’.
He was referring to people who do serial marriages for ‘variety’. Polygamists should also pay heed to this
Are Pakistanis in Britain welcoming this trend or are they disturbed from this trend?
And is this now a major concern in the British Pakistani community?
Not to mention the blatant abuse of Islam and its laws by selfish men, such as ‘Imran’ who thinks he is justified because it is Islamically acceptable and it is in the nature of men to desire ‘more’.
The number of women who are being forced to compromise into living in polygamous marriages.
Which will inevitably negatively impact on the children.
When I read of how these married men have affairs and later marry them and justify it by using Islam, I can’t help but feel disgusted and dismayed.
And the fact that this is INCREASING is alarming.
what are the views of British Pakistanis on this?
