So, you can't be legally married in Britain to a third partner or whatever, but you can have your marriage from somewhere else recognized? How will that stand up in the courts?

How will it go with Common Law Marriages - ie the ones where you're shacking up with a person? Does that mean that three of you could shack up together?

Islamic law permits men to have up to four wives at any one time - known as a harem - provided the husband spends equal amounts of time and money on each of them.

Yeah, well they should try spending an equal amount of their own money.

Recall all Repuglikkkans:
The country recognizes the laws of other nations. Not that complicated.

Recognizing is one thing, subsidizing is another. The British people's money shouldn't be going to this bullshiat.

It recognizes the laws of other nations as acceptable in its own country?

So.. britain recognizes that its okay to stone homosexuals and apostates to death, and if some middle eastern does it in UK, its all fine and dandy, since that's the law in their own country?

fark them. Just ban the burqa, ban the multiple marriage, and deny immigration of anyone who comes with a farked up 7th century mentality.

A far as I am concerned, the God of the Koran is infact Loki.

Who else would sentence a man to have four wives?

So could this start the immigration of non-Mormon polygamists to the UK?

The real penalty for bigamy is having multiple mother-in-law's

(that's all)

The country recognizes the laws of other nations. Not that complicated.

The UK shouldn't recognize laws that contradict its own. Legalize polygyny AND polyandry in Britain, or force those immigrants to annul all or all but one marriage. Dont' like it? Don't move to the UK.


If you're going to allow polygyny, you have to allow polyandry. Frankly, I don't see what's wrong with either. People should be able to make their own choices when it comes to partners (provided they are consenual...consention...consented to by all spouses).

Frankly, European countries bend over backwards for the cultures of immigrants, even allowing spousal abuse (granted the judge was removed, but still...) and and are still despised by many of these immigrants. It sucks.

sorry, the sentence "The country recognizes the laws of other nations. Not that complicated." was a quote.

The judge i was referring to in the last paragraph was a german judge who allowed a muslim man to legally beat his wife. Here:

Cheaper to deport any bigamist and his wives back to crapistan where they belong.
