For those that want a 2nd or 3rd, RUSH, before US cuts funds.

I don't think I want another wife after experiencing the current one. Side dishes will do.

You are right. A guy who went to church and wants to be polagamous, kwisha. No room for you.

sikujua shia muslim do not allow several wives.
lakini what is this african traditional marriage, if one goes through all the traditional marriage rituals - dowry, fetching firewood .. etc then goes to church and signs the certificate which I presume is the same as the civil marriage one. what type of marriage is that.

No rude intention but if you get married in the church and sign the certificate then go fetch firewood, what marriage would that be?

remember in this new law you will only be married using one type of marriage. even the people who do customary marriages will be required to be registered as married under customary law after a period (i think 6 months). Kama you married customary and you are bila certificate but your certificate is a church marriage cert - consider yourself married using the christian marriage. the law basically says every marriage will need to be registered!

@masukuma do not mislead people. Muslims is Muslim, we all read from the same source Quran and Hadith.
The grouping is are quoting is political division, which I don't think it's anywhere in Islamic sharia or our Marriage bill/law.

@nakujua it is not several women, it is one or twos or threes or fours. Quran 4:3, it says: "Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one.."

So this statement "Marry only one" is only given in the Quran and no other scripture.

And by the way we Muslims have this option, yet you find that 98% of Muslim men in the world have only one wife. It is only 2% who have more than one wife.

One wife is stress enough...Two,Three,Four is courting insanity.

It was unofficial!!!

@nakujua, don't be confused, let me explain this "briefly"

You see people keep quoting "Sunni", "Shia" etc. It is actually the so called non-Muslim experts who started these groupings to divide the Muslims.

They want to spread lies by saying that the Sunni believe and claim that the Shia are non-Muslim. By saying that some Shia say the same about the the Sunni.

This is a game being being played
There is nothing like this in Islam. Muslim is the one who submits to the will of Almighty God. And Muslims refer to two sources of guidance; the Quran and the hadith (authentic).

So in Islam there is no sect
Allah says in the Quran Surah Imran chapter 3:103
"And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves;"

So as far as Islam is concerned, there is no Shia Muslim, and Sunni Muslim.

I hope this clears the air?
