KUALA TERENGGANU: Polygamous men should consider marrying single mothers to reduce the high number of such women living alone, said State Islam Hadhari and Welfare committee chairman Abdullah Che Muda.
“The popular consideration is to look for unmarried girls but this will not help to reduce the increasing number of single mothers,” he said.
Abdullah said there were some 18,000 members in the Terengganu Single Mothers’ Club.
“In my constituency (Kuala Besut) alone, there are now some 300 single mothers and those intending to remarry should consider these women,” he added.
Abdullah said the men were subjected to certain rulings of the Religious Department, such as being mentally and financially stable, has in-depth knowledge of the religion and able to render fair treatment to all wives.
“Therefore, those who are eligible can look after these single mothers, by accepting them as wives,” he said.
State Religious Department commissioner Datuk Shaikh Harun Ismail said that in Terengganu, polygamous man could solemnise the marriage without informing his wife or wives.
On the other hand, he said spouses’ presence was compulsory in the Federal Territory.
“But this still come under the discretion of the Syariah Court judge and if the man is asked to produce his wife or wives he has to comply,” he said.
I love Malaysia, not because of the weather, not because of the policies here, it was because of the laughter that I can have, not by anything, but just by reading the news in Malaysia, would be very much entertaining. Malaysia BOLEH!
