we are saying a man is allowed to get married to 3/4 .. but it is not really happening.

...maybe not in the UAE... yet common in other muslim socieities. But I have never met 2,3 or 4th wives that are either widows, destitute or needy... just pretty.

There are a few shia families here as well, right - Hashemis?



i don't think wahhaabeyah is in the UAE with great numbers ...

shia are little as well .. as far as i know

most of UAE socity are just muslims who care about doing their prayer and doing good things to others... without hurting other groups

a peacefull socity in other words... they are not into group things

not as far as i know.

when considering the life style and how expensive it is for a man to live with one woman .. i can say that men are not married to more than 1 wife in most of the islamic countries ..

as a mattar of a fact .. alot of them are not able to even get married to 1 woman.

You guys in the UAE are lucky in that respect - there are problems in Bahrain between the Sunni and Shia. Also in Kuwait, when I was living there, there was violence on the streets between Khaleejis of the two sects. That's without even mentioning the problems in Iraq....

Also in the Khaleej there is a growing divorce rate......

expensive to live in countries like Pakistan, Egypt, Afghanistan, Sudan..... again, do your research before making these assertions. I have even met multiple wives in Europe (well, Albania, Kosovo....)

OK privide me with the contact details for each census office for each Islamic country you want this information, then I will galdly contact them. But I doubt many of these countries even have the capacity to conduct this data gathering....
