| Irish outlaw Muslim second wives | |
| 2004-06-21 | |
| And, why would you be wanting a second wife, me lad? Well to be shure, to be shure, beallah Muslims who marry Irish women have to make a formal declaration that they will not take more than one wife on being granted citizenship. The Irish government confirmed yesterday that it has ordered all men from Islamic countries seeking residency to sign a sworn affidavit rejecting polygamy. Muslim men also have to agree they will not seek residency for a second wife if granted Irish citizenship. A man must swear he has "one spouse only" and "has no intention of entering into a simultaneous marriage". A spokesman for the Department of Justice in Dublin said: "Obviously, we don’t recognise polygamy under Irish law." The Irish Council of Civil Liberties said the enforcement was "despicable". A Lebanese army officer was refused residence for both his wives and 13 children.

| #17 Any man who has ever dated an Irish woman knows that one is more than enough. Sometimes too much. Maybe it should be two husbands to one Irish wife. Share the misery, y'know. |

| #16 I once had an Irish outlaw Muslim second wife. That girl sure could shoot, even with hajib on. She could pound the brew too. |

| #13 The only reason this was adopted in the first place was due to the fact that men would go off to war and many would not come back. In effect reducing the rate of women to men to approx. 3-1. In order to help provide for the women who were w/out a man and w/ children, the brother or friend would take on a second wife.This was in like 600 A.D and after. Now it's just a relic that some idiots use. Who wouldnt want a harem of nice young girlies anyway:P |

| #12 I believe Sammy may be referring to serial polygamy__ many wives hooked up in series rather than in parallel ....8p |

| #11 Hey who knows maybe the'll work on banning multiple wives in the U.S next. Sammy-last time I checked, polygamy was illegal in the US-including Utah. |

| #7 I suspect even our ACLU hasn't gone so far into multiculti moonbattitude... Any evidence of that? Remember, they demanded the county of Los Angeles remove the miniscule cross from their seal. I doubt they'd have had a beef with a crescent moon. |

| #4 This ruling is going to serious harm Irish animal husbandry. |

| #3 As if this means anything. How is Ireland going to stop them from marrying their second wife when they're in a Muslim nation? |
