[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mother War: [QB] My ex brother in law has married two of his brothers' widows. He married them to take care of his brothers' children and widows. He has three wives total. This is the only case I've ever heard of. I agree, it is kinda difficult for a convert (either divorced or converted without marriage)to find a Muslim husband in the US. [QUOTE]Originally posted by With a name like Smuckers: [qb] I have issues with polygamy in Islam. I know it is permitted and some do it and ok, fine. My issue is when some of the men take more than one wife and it seems that hardly ever do I hear of any of them taking any that are : divorced widowed converts Or any of the three combined. If polygamy was instituted to help the men marry the women way back when when wars were so prevelant and the women were getting widowed and left alone (ok and because some had more wives than this to begin with, had to cut it down a bit), why isn't this practiced so much today? No, instead the men are looking for wet behind the ears virgin girls, crossing oceans to bring them to the West or what have you. As a convert I can't tell you how difficult it is to find a good KNOWLEGABLE Muslim man to marry, me being a foreigner, a convert and still have him be Western. Most Muslim men in America will go back to the home country or their parents' home countries for wives and bring them back to America when there are plenty of good American muslimas needing marriage there. Some are divorced and/or widowed sure, but aren't we told that the man gets a great reward in caring for these types of women? It's not that surprising to me that so many Western muslimas marry men who are not their own nationality. I guess it just makes sense that so many do enter into a marriage that works well for all involved, the woman gets the marriage to a Muslim man, he helps her with her Islam, he gets the foreigner, doesn't get the in law family hassle, often doesn't have to fork over stupid amounts of cash, has the chance of moving to the West and *hopefully* he didn't marry one VERY much older and can give him children if he didn't already have them from a prior marriage. I guess I'm going off now...but I just wish there were more Muslim men willing to take wives who were converts in the West. Even the convert men go overseas! hello?? They are all among you!
