#1 Yah. Koran, adultery, and stoning the woman and all that. What I want to know is how Bouzy is living in France with two wives? Isn't the customary French practice one wife and a mistress?

#2 Yeah, ed. My first thought exactly.

Maybe it's because I come from an American perspective, but I thought pologamy was banned pretty much everywhere even partially civilized.

So, if you can have multiple wives in France and you don't feel like working, does that mean you get extra welfare checks?

And if you're one of the extra wives, can you sue/divorce the husband for not being egalitarian in the, uh, matrimonial duties?

Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

#3 There was an article about that polygamy thingy not too long ago. Apparently the French authorites are too busy dealing with real issues to enforce the marriage laws in such instances, but only one wife and her children are legal -- leading to a great deal of resentment on the part of the junior wives and their children... not to mention problems later should they try to regularize their situation.

#5 I forgot to mention: only one wife and her children are entitled to welfare/social security monies. The second set and beyond are on their own.
