The men went to war & were killed so the population was top heavy with women.

The surviving men were allowed to take more wife as this meant the women had finanical support.

Same reason fundamentalist Mormons can have MORE than 4 wives, David!

Moslem girls can be betrothed at 12 - but aren't touched by their husbands until they're 16.

Mormon wives can be married at 12 - and have their first child at 13.

Moslem wives can divorce their husbands.

Mormon wives can be 'handed round' - their husbands can be banished and the wives are delegated to another husband - of the leader's choice!

BTW - not many Moslem men can afford 4 wives - they all have to be treated equally - and that can be expensive!

Who would want more than one husband? Just more work to do but if one of four wives, could share the housework. Bagsy doing the dusting lol

This Countrys obsession with the Muslin culture is getting scary, pitty they dont take as much interest in the christian bible.

How is it a Muslim man is allowed four wives but a Muslim woman is only allowed one husband?
