can muslim guys have 4 ladies?

[vistascape]

ive heard that muslim guys can have 4 ladies in thailand and that its quite normal.

 

is this really true? is this even legal?

[Sheryl]

The religion allows for up to 4 wives provided the husband can support them all equally and well and the other wives all consent.

 

But Thai law does not allow marriage to more than one woman at a time, and bigamy is a criminal offense here.

 

Even in predominately Muslim countries where it is legal, polygamy is usually not the norm. Among other things, very expensive as those tend to be countries where wives usually do nto work and husband is expected to be the sole provider.

why do my friend tell me that thai muslims have 4 ladies?

What exactly do you mean ' Have 4 ladies ' ?

 

Those poor Muslims. You can go to Pattaya and ' have ' four 'ladies' in an afternoon and you don't need to marry any of them.....but of course if you do you will end up building them a house and another for their parents.

Still, a lot cheaper than having to feed 4 wife's until you die.

In Thailand, we call them "mia noi". But technically the law only recognizes your main wife.

What Thai Muslim do is that they marry official and the other 3 by nikka in a local mosque. Southern Thailand Mosques gives you a letter and it is not logged with any government as the Thai government make Buddhism the official language of Thailand. Its all very much tolerated. Most of the Thai Muslim's that marry up to 4 wife's are loaded with money so no conflict. It works also most of time well out as they still look after their first wife etc and the children's and don't make a runner.

Actually, that is just a simple matter of statistics.... (since there are roughly the same number of male and female babies born).

Polygamy is just another HISO thing.

One is enough.. can you imagine the nagging from 4 wives? Oh they can have a 5th temporary wife too..

I've never understood this multi lady ridiculousness.

It must have been introduced for the mentally not so well.

When working with Muslim guys I tell them I can have 16 wives... 

 

 

 

.... 4 Richer, 4 Poorer, 4 Better, 4 Worse...

It was introduced when HISO did not yet have Lamborghinis to show off with.
