Polygamy and Human Rights

Abstract

Abstract In non-Muslim societies polygamy is prohibited and cannot be celebrated even if the involved parties are Muslims. Such a prohibition generates in fact a situation of denying lots of human rights. That‟s a kind of discrimination towards the polygamous household which must be encountered because human rights are indivisible and all people deserve the enjoyment of all of them. Keywords: polygamy, denial of human rights, legalization of polygamy.
