Muslims in Malawi have been angered by government plans to ban polygamy.A spokesman for the Muslim Association of Malawi told the BBC the proposed law would discriminate against the country's Muslim minority.
He said with about 6% more women than men in Malawi, if polygamy were banned, many women would be left without a husband and become prostitutes.What i wanna know is, how is that even connected!!!??? seriously, that is your excuse for not wanting to ban polygamy!!! somebody shoot me!
The gender minister said the ban was necessary to prevent women from being abused in polygamous relationships. She said problems occurred because men could not give their full attention to more than one woman. "When a man has two, three, four wives, they are not co-operative - one will be the loved one," said Gender Minister Patricia Kaliati.

"It had not been a hasty decision and there had been wide consultation about the matter," she said.
But Imran Shareef Muhammed - secretary general of the Muslim Association of Malawi - disputed this."The minister is lying - she didn't consult the Muslim community," he said.
"If these people go ahead banning polygamous marriages it means many women will go into prostitution. I just have a couple of words to tel him...Dear Mister Imran Shareef, contact us when you get a better more intellectual and 'higher quality' excuse... after survey that is..
"Every woman has the right to be under the shelter of a man." has says..Pshhhhhhhh!!! Men...
He said under Sharia law, polygamy was optional. "I have only one wife, my dear wife... but the moment they proceed with this, I will take a second wife," he said.
Hand clap to Malawi for banning polygamy!!! I think its high time we start banning it country to country...
