I keep hearing stories about Middle-aged and elderly Somali men being caught with multiple wives. Since when is this permitted in Islam?
In Islam a marriage (new wife) should be announced, not hidden like a mistress.
Imagine the children from such a marriage, having to live as though they are illegitimate and only the first wife's children are acknowledged /public knowledge.
I am 100% convinced that Somali men have adopted a shia practise and are trying to make it "halal".
Why have Somali men become so cowardly about polygamy? What happened to the brave men of yesteryear who married multiple wives and even told their first wife what their plans are.
The most harrowing and contemptuous issue is that often these Somali men marry without carrying out STD tests and have brought HIV home to their unsuspecting wives and passed it onto their offspring.
A lot of men think women are just being "jealous", no, women don't respect cowardice and treachery.
