"Thousands of Muslim Women in Britain Entering Polygamous Relationships"

 

If the numbers are true there could be more of a "demand" for polygamous marriage than gay marriage:

An “unprecedented” number of Muslim women are inquiring about polygamy, the Islamic Sharia Council in Britain has said.

Newspaper reports suggest that thousands of Muslim women in Britain are entering polygamous relationships.

The news comes as the Westminster Government launched a consultation on whether marriage should be redefined.

British Muslim men reportedly bring about 12,000 brides to Britain each year, leaving UK-born Muslim females struggling to find a husband.

Although polygamy is illegal in Britain, many Muslim communities believe it is legitimate for a man to have up to four wives.

Under UK law only one marriage is legal, but men can have “nikah” religious ceremonies. -- The UK Christian Institute
