Moderate Indonesia: Muslim marries his two girlfriends at once “so nobody gets hurt”

Aug 29, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Of course. Polygamy is allowed in the Qur’an (4:3). Thus for a believing and informed Muslim there can be no dissent from this. The fact that it reduces women to commodities and has been a source of untold misery over the centuries is immaterial.

“Man marries his two girlfriends at once ‘so nobody gets hurt,'” by Emma Guinness, VT, August 25, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A man has married both of his girlfriends at once in a bid not to hurt either woman.

The incident took place on August 17 in Indonesia. A video of the ceremony was subsequently posted to Facebook where it went viral. In the video, the groom struggles to remember his marriage rites but gets there in the end, much to the relief of guests in the room.

According to Vice, the man did not think it was odd to marry two women at once and told local media: “My heart couldn’t stand to see them hurt. So I decided to marry them both.”…

The Quran dictates that providing he can support each wife, a Muslim man can have up to four spouses. However, under Indonesian law, a man can only marry more than one woman if he has the permission of his first wife….

    There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.

    — Ecclesiastes 8:14

    • CRUSADER says

      Aug 29, 2019 at 4:13 pm

      There is a vanity which is done upon the earth

      — Transacted in this lower world under the sun, through the permission and direction of divine Providence; not that it is a vanity on the part of God, who has wise ends to answer by it, for the good of his people, the trial of their graces or to bring sinners to repentance, or harden them in sin; but this shows the vanity and uncertainty of all worldly things, and that there is no happiness to be had in them;

      that there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work
      of the wicked:

      — to whom evil comes, as the Targum and Jarchi; who are treated as if they were wicked men, and dealt with in providence as sinners would be, if they had the just desert of their wicked works; being attended with poverty, sickness, and disgrace, and other calamities of life, as Job, Asaph, Lazarus, and others, and yet truly righteous and good men;

      again, there be wicked [men] to whom it happeneth according to the
      work of the righteous;

      — to whom good things come, as the Targum and Jarchi; who have an affluence of good things, all the outward blessings of life, as health, wealth, honour, long life as if they had lived the best of lives, and were the most righteous persons upon earth; see ( Job 21:7-13 ) ( Psalms 73:4 Psalms 73:5 Psalms 73:7 ) ( Luke 16:19 ) ;

      I said, that this also [is] vanity;

      — this is said, as some think, according to the judgment of corrupt nature; or as it is apprehended by such who do not rightly consider the judgments of God and the wisdom of Providence in the ordering of things to answer good purposes; or rather the sense is, this is one of the miseries and infelicities of this life, and which demonstrates the emptiness of all things here below, and that the chief good and supreme happiness is not to be had here; but there is and must be a future state, when all things will be set right, and everyone will have and enjoy his proper portion.

    I see a small technicality here. He had no first wife to grant him permission to marry two women at the same time. Wouldn’t he have had to marry one of them first and then get her permission to marry the other one also? Then he would have the problem of deciding which one to marry first without hurting the feelings of the other. More than one wife at a time is just a bad idea.

    • CRUSADER says

      Aug 29, 2019 at 4:16 pm

      Think of all the expenditure, in all the senses of that word!

        Maybe that’s why Muhammad wanted 20% of all the booty his gang took from Infidels.

        • DHazard says

          Aug 29, 2019 at 5:24 pm

          That’s exactly why. I’m pretty sure that’s the reason booty is called booty (or boo-tay). That’s also the reason for one of Muhammad’s “convenient” revelations allowing members of his rob and rape squad permission to rape married women with living husbands.

        • CRUSADER says

          Aug 29, 2019 at 8:01 pm

          Is it how Boot-Edge-Edge got named too ?

    • Infidel Pride says

      Aug 29, 2019 at 4:57 pm

      If he married both simultaneously, both would be his first wife, just like 2 teams w/ the same #points can be joint winners. While I typically disdain polygamy, I do admire the spirit of this guy in marrying both to avoid hurting either. Although I do wonder what each of his wives thought about the other gal: there must have been some level of acceptance for either to not dump him

      • gravenimage says

        Aug 29, 2019 at 5:02 pm

        Do you *really* think that he married both these women to avoid hurting them? He married them both so he wouldn’t have to give up either of them.

        • Infidel Pride says

          Aug 29, 2019 at 6:42 pm

          Then why did neither of them dump him?

        • 6woods says

          Aug 29, 2019 at 7:43 pm

          You’re overthinking this. There is no logic or consistency in islam. Just ask allah.

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 30, 2019 at 10:06 pm

          They may as Muslims support polygamy–or these may be forced marriages. Forced marriage is rife in Indonesia, as it is in most of the Muslim world.

          Assuming that Muslim women in Dar-al-Islam have all the options of women in the civilized world is *much* mistaken.

    Yes, a Muslim nan can marry up to four wives. God forbid we criticise such “culture.” In this case, that man probably had permission of both wives. Very very very sad and Western leaders, as well as Pope Francis, regrettably remain silent. Horrible!!!

  4. European pagan says

    Aug 29, 2019 at 4:34 pm

    Why can’t women marry more men? A black, a white and an asian man, so they would know who is the father of the child xDDDDD

    • CRUSADER says

      Aug 29, 2019 at 4:38 pm

      That makes no sense.

      A woman can know who fathered their child by remaining true —
      just as she would expect in return—
      and also by DNA testing, silly pagan!

      • gravenimage says

        Aug 29, 2019 at 4:46 pm

        I think European pagan’s post is to be taken rather tongue-in-cheek.

        • CRUSADER says

          Aug 29, 2019 at 8:02 pm

          I can never tell with pagans.

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 29, 2019 at 8:07 pm

          I take your point, CRUSADER. Still, I’ll take most pagans over Muslims any day of the week.

          Certainly, European pagan is a staunch Anti-Jihadist.

    The fact is that polygamy is tremendously hurtful to women and to families.

      Correction: Monogamy is designed to protect the welfare of men, women, children, and society at large. Polygamy creates a variety of social ills including inbreeding.

    Accommodating, folding, caving in, parroting, surrender, paying off, etc. are some of the ways Western democracies have dealt with the demands of their Muslim citizens and all the accusations of racism that precede the transformation of Muslims from being just another minority to being a Super Minority. With Super Minority status comes lax law enforcement, no investigations from the government or media, and eventually the encoding of their grievances and wishes into law. This may go so far as to allow for certain urban districts to be considered places where Shariah is prevalent and self enforced. Both public and private criticism of the Super Minority is considered a deep moral failing of the questioner and may themselves incur hate speech fines.

    But what really makes a Super Minority are credible threats to life coupled with Leftist egos that require adherence to the belief that Islam and Muslims are blameless.

    All three of them are looking extremely glum at the wedding ceremony. This is in line with Islamic teachings too. Ayatollah Khomeini himself put it this way: “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun”. Fun in Islam is no laughing matter.

    • gravenimage says

    The Quran dictates that providing he can support each wife, a Muslim man can have up to four spouses. However, under Indonesian law, a man can only marry more than one woman if he has the permission of his first wife

    “However” shmowever – Indonesian law allows for polygamy, period. The “permission” is a mere formality:

    “The Quran dictates that providing he can support each wife, a Muslim man can have up to four spouses. However, under Indonesian law, a man can only marry more than one woman if he has the permission of his first wife….”

    Is there an Indonesian law that provides “a woman can only marry more than one man if she has the permission of her first husband….”

    If not,why not?

  17. No Fear says

    36% of women married in Indonesia are under the age of 16. Mohammed would be pleased.

    Stealing a bride from the poor
    Allowed by Islam
    I do not know a women willing to share a cock
    Unless they are poor and forced by poverty

  19. Goofy says

    According to the Koran women are inferior to men, and it takes two women to count for one man in a court of law.

    Let us hope that this young groom will not meet his two new wives in court. He might face some real trouble!

    The fact that he starts out with two wives will also make it more difficult for him to beat them up as devout Muslims do to preserve the wives’ respect and submission.
