No offence and I hate to discuss politics here, but why does India allow Muslim men to marry multiple times? Why allow triple talaq and other religious rules for other religions too like Hindu, etc? Is India really secular country then?? At the least, they should ban multiple marriages and triple talaq. Or has the triple talaq already been banned? The organized religions are already against women and government proclaiming to be secular but actually siding with such religions and their men’s rules don’t help women. This multiple marriage is disgusting. 🤢
When it comes to religion, the law is quite tricky because if the government wants to change something, they don't want to offend the religion. The procedure to get the law or rule passed itself is tedious.
So, it's not that easy unless there's a study where it shows that getting married multiple times has been done many times for no reason. As in it is something that muslim men have taken advantage of as they did with the triple talaq or instant divorce.
I think this was the case in Indonesia so they changed the rules to limit a man to only 2 wives. As far as other muslim countries go, if a man is in charge of these rules I doubt this would change!
