Having two wives is illegal in India. However, there are many countries in the world that support polygamy. On top of that, there is UAE who is providing rewards for the man who commits Bigamy. This is quite surprising that a country is encouraging its men for polygamy. The reason behind this scheme is that most of the women in UAE are unmarried. Hence, the Government wants all the girls to have life partners.
Rewards After Having Two Wives
According to the Sheikh Housing Program scheme, if a man gets two wives then he would be given the reward. The rewards would be beneficial for his second wife. This makes it easy for the people in UAE to keep multiple wives with ease.
The Polygamy Law In UAE
Moreover, the polygamous marriages are legally recognized in UAE, in accordance with Islamic Sharia law, which allows for Muslim men to take up to four wives, considering that he treats them equally. It rather seems like polygyne as the men are allowed to have multiple wives but the women are not allowed to have more than one husband.
Does India Need This Kind Of Law?
Although this law is useful in the regards of UAE, not all the countries allow it. Most of the people criticize these kinds of law and we have also seen the Indian women protested to get rid of polygamy in Islam. All in all, the movement of women empowerment is at its peak and this kind of law contradicts the demand for equality for women.
The laws are made to make the public life easy. This law seems like the solution for the public in UAE. However, there is clearly no need for these kinds of laws in India. What do you say? Share your thoughts in the comments.
