Terengganu to ease polygamy rules
BY R.S.N. MURALI

KUALA TERENGGANU: The Terengganu state government intends to relax its rules 
on polygamy to make it easier for men to have more than one wife, citing the 
high number of single mothers and unwed lasses.

Those who now intend to take a new wife are no longer required to seek the 
green light from their current spouses.

State Islam Hadhari and Welfare committee chairman Abdullah Che Muda told 
The Starthat this would give opportunities for single ladies in the state to 
have their own families.

"However, those who want to take up new wives should adhere to certain rules 
and conform to criteria set by the Religious Department," he said when 
contacted here.

Abdullah said that a man keen to marry again should be mentally and 
financially stable, have indepth knowledge of Islam and must be able to 
treat all his wives fairly, including his first one.

"Only after a rigid evaluation would a man be allowed to take another wife," 
he said.

Abdullah said the state now has large number of single mothers who are 
either widowed or divorced. The number of women who have lost their husbands 
has also soared.

There are currently close to 18,000 single mothers in the state and clubs 
have been set up at the district level to oversee their welfare.
