The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to suit Islamic sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to suit Islamic sensibilities.
“Spanish Court Orders Pension Payments to Moroccan Polygamist’s Two Widows,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, January 25, 2020:
The Spanish supreme court has granted two women, the widows of a Moroccan polygamist, the rights to widows’ pensions in a landmark ruling, claiming that polygamy does not prevent pension allocation despite it being illegal.
The Moroccan man had died in 2012 and the two women he had been married to both claimed to be eligible for a widow’s pension from the Spanish state.
The court ruled that both women were eligible as they had been legally married to the man but that they would have to split the pension among themselves, Spanish newspaper El Pais reports.
The ruling comes after the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid had initially rejected the claims of one of the widows who then appealed the case to the national Supreme Court.
The case is not the first of its kind in Spain. In 2018, the Supreme Court recognised the right for two widows to collect the pension for their deceased husband, also Moroccan, who had previously served in the Spanish armed forces.
The case referred to Article 23 of the Social Security Agreement signed between Spain and Morocco in November 1979 which states: “The widowhood pension caused by a Moroccan worker will be distributed, where appropriate, equally and definitely among those who turn out to be, according to Moroccan legislation, beneficiaries of said benefit.”
Polygamy is illegal in most countries across Europe, including Spain, although certain countries like Sweden have accepted some polygamous marriages that were carried out overseas before those involved moved to the country….

Not too bad, They have to share the pension of 1 widow. Looking forward to a stabbing.

Not so, Tom. Check the wording of the verdict:
“The Spanish supreme court has granted two women, the widows of a Moroccan polygamist, the rights to widows’ pensions…”.
This is “widows’ pensions” *in the plural. Wherever this Muslim got his pension–likely the state–now has to pay out *two* pensions. In the near future, will this be four?
owensgate says
No one should have an input if it’s one pension divided up by X where X = No. of pensioners, but it makes me wonder how the Mormons handle this…
gravenimage says
The mainstream Mormon Church has rejected polygamy. From what I’ve heard, the fringe sects just marry widows off to some other polygamist thug.
Giacomo Latta says
Did hubby have to pay into state coffers for one wife like every kaffir or did he pay once for all his wives? Smells like another religious rip-off to me.
Walter Sieruk says
Regardless of any ruling of the supreme count of Spain on the law about a Muslim man having polygamous marriages and the Spanish legal ramifications concerning this Islamic practice, there’s is still a point that needs to be make known.
Which is that polygamy is not sanctioned by God. For example God gave Adam one wife. Furthermore, in the New Testament Jesus taught “For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife…” Jesus said “wife.” Not “wives” Mathew 19:5. [K.J.V.] Likewise, in First Timothy 3:2. In instructs “A bishop the must be blameless, the husband on one wife.” Here again it’s “one wife” \\
Nevertheless, there are some people who will act as apologists for polygamy by say the king David of Israel and then later his son ,who became King Solomon of Israel did practice polygamy. Such people aren’t taking into account both the time and place. For the only reason that God did tolerate this tradition was not because it was right or that He approved of it. It was because this practice of having many wives was such an entrenched custom in the ancient Middle East that God allowed it for the above mentioned Kings of Israel. This does not mean that this custom, of polygamy, was to keep on going in other times and places.
Hugh Fitzgerald says
And since the widow’s dimidiated mite will not be enough to support either one will the Spanish state supply other means of support to such women — say, free housing, or a generous allowance to supplement her half-pension? I hope not, but anything is possible in Europe’s Crazistan.
No Muzzies Here says
Spain, and most of the European countries, has so little self-esteem that it willingly denies its own laws and commits to enforcing the laws of a foreign power which are based on superstition.

More pathetic surrender by a western country. Our countries so often seem to lack the self-belief to stand up for our western values. I live in Australia, but I see this wishy washy attitude to Islam, this surrender and caving in to Islam’s garbage, in all our western countries over and over again. Polygamy is yet another way that islam demonstrates its complete incompatibility with our values, along with Islam’s paedophilia with child brides, its homophobia, its rape gangs and so on. Islam is full of barbaric, backward garbage, all of which make it unfit to be allowed anywhere near civilised societies. Surely, the mistake is letting Muslims in. Once they are in our countries, all this crap, along with that worst thing of all, the inevitable Muslim terrorist attacks, is bound to follow.
Jayell says
Well, if’s their Allah-given privilege to run the entire show. It says so in their holy book. And they know it’s right because their ‘Prophet’ made it all up, including ‘Allah’.
tim gallagher says
Yeah, that’s the parasitic Muslim mentality, Jayell. They’ll always try to exploit us for welfare, etc, but, to me, the bigger problem is the way our societies are so pathetic and keep caving in and putting up with this Muslim garbage. I keep thinking that we have to keep Muslims out because, once they are let in to our societies, we are too nice (probably just too civilised, which is normally a good thing, of course, but exploited) and let them live like parasites on our societies. You are right in saying the phony Prophet made all this lying garbage up to suit his evil purposes.

Spain: Court orders pension payments to polygamous Muslim migrant’s two widows
………………………
This, despite polygamy being *illegal* in Spain.
And this Muslim thug just had two wives–what about those with four? Will the Muslim’s pension company–or the state, and hence Spanish taxpayers–have to pay out for all four of them? This will just further encourage Muslims breaking Spain’s laws.
saturnine says
The article states, “The court ruled that both women were eligible as they had been legally married to the man but that they would have to split the pension among themselves.”
So there’s one pension and the wives have to come to an agreement on how to divide it. They should be thankful he didn’t have the maximum number of wives Allah permits.
“My jihad is keeping my late husband’s younger wife from getting any of his pension!!”
gravenimage says
Thanks, saturnine–I had missed that.
Valkyrie Ziege says
; That last line, also, was my first thought. It’s myth the women are nurturing, and fair, especially when it come to money. It makes male thugs/Jihadists look like delicate daisies in comparison. I’m predicting there will be an “accident”, of mother-in-law fire proportions, within that household, before the year is out.
gravenimage says
Some women *are* nurturing–certainly not all of them, though.

Present Spain, you let Queen Isabella I down.

Yes–and all of their ancestors who died to make Spain free.
