: Legal JuiceSome Serious Polygamy
By John Mesirow (all)
For 57-year-old truck driver Mohamed Nor of Malaysia, 3 wives and 18 kids (ages 4 to 34) are not enough. So he is seeking the permission of the Syrariah High Court to marry a fourth women. And guess who has consented to the marriage? Wives 1,2 and 3. Said Judge Shaikh Ahmad, per the New Straits Times:
?I find it rather strange because since becoming a (syariah) judge, this is the first time where all three wives not only allow their husband to marry another woman but are very supportive of it,? he said during the hearing of Mohamed Nor?s application.Do you think the Judge allowed the marriage?

So Mr. Nor has to answer this question to the court's satisfaction before the marriage will be approved.
