Polygamy dehumanizes women, reducing them to the status of commodities. The Qur’an tells Muslim men to “marry those that please you of women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then one…” (Qur’an 4:3). It seems fair: a man who cannot be just with multiple wives should restrict himself to just one, but in such matters, what constitutes just behavior is all too subjective and elusive. Islamic authorities have generally understood this to mean equal economic support and equal time in the beds of each.
Yet even if all this were scrupulously managed, an equal distribution of affection wouldn’t be possible. Even Muhammad favored his child bride Aisha over all of his other wives. A hadith has a Muslim making bold to ask him, “Who is the most beloved person to you?” Muhammad answered with one word: Aisha. (Bukhari 5.62.3662) What might his other wives have thought of this? No one dared to ask them, even in these fabricated ninth-century traditions.
“Traffic warden, 32, who stabbed his wife, 34, to death in brutal attack after she refused to let him take another spouse is facing life in jail as he is convicted of murder,” by John James, MailOnline, April 20, 2023:
A traffic warden who stabbed his wife to death in a brutal attack after she refused to let him take another spouse is facing a life sentence today after he was convicted of murdering her.
Victim Ayesha Hasan, 32, had predicted her death at the hands of violent husband Asim Hasan, 33, and told friends: ‘If something happens to me please take care of my kids.’
Mrs Hasan, 32, was found in a pool of blood in their flat in Burrard Road, Canning Town, east London. Their two children, both aged under 10, were waiting to be taken to school when Hasan stabbed her 26 times and killed her.
Ten days before she was murdered, Mrs Hasan sent a ‘desperate’ WhatsApp message to friends saying she was scared of her husband because he was unpredictable and would ‘flip out’.
She said she didn’t want to call the police but wanted him out of the house as she didn’t feel safe.
Mrs Hasan told them: ‘If something happens to me please take care of my kids, don’t let Asim have them. I’m going to delete this after I sent it because he’ll start with me if he finds out.’
Hasan denied murder, claiming he did not intend to harm his wife when he stabbed her 26 times but an Old Bailey jury took just 91 minutes to convict him.
He had joined a Muslim dating app just days before the killing and told how their relationship broke down because he wanted two wives.
His relatives held their head in their hands in the public gallery Judge Anthony Leonard told him: ‘You have been convicted of murder. The sentence will be one of life imprisonment.’
But the case was adjourned as the judge decides how long Hasan should serve before he can be paroled.
On May 19 last year the killer had dialled 999 from his home to say he had just stabbed his wife.
‘He said he was in the kitchen and the two children were in the house but unhurt,’ said Joel Smith, prosecuting.
‘He veered between calmly reporting his conduct to police and screaming and crying.
‘Police and an ambulance were sent to the scene and arrived 14 minutes later. What they found was shocking.
‘Ayesha Hasan was lying unconscious in a pool of her own blood in the kitchen.
‘She had plainly been stabbed not one but many, many times. Officers did their best to save her life, but their attempts were in vain and she died at the scene. She was only 34 years old. The defendant was immediately arrested with blood stains on his hands.
‘All the while their young children were at the address waiting to be taken to school. The bloodstained kitchen knife this defendant used to kill his partner was found on the cooker by her body.
‘It was a ferocious and really quite savage attack.’
Hasan told police at the scene: ‘I’m guilty and you can charge me’.
The couple had had an Islamic marriage but by 2022 the relationship had soured as they argued about money, Hasan’s behaviour and his belief that his wife was having an affair….
Hasan said he joined a Muslim dating app on 24 April, adding: ‘Because of our arguments, I discussed with my wife that I wanted a second wife. I wanted two marriages. We were frequently arguing. Arguments would become physical arguments. I am a very calm person, I never really shouted.
‘She was [physical]. She would just hit me with objects and anything she could find.
‘She tried to take my life a couple of times – strangle me with wire, strangle me with her hands – but she didn’t let me die.’

Thought bigamy/Polygamy was illegal in the UK. Perhaps not for a specified group. It would be interesting if the Government, any government with a Muslim grouping in their National Boundaries, actually went through the records & actually found out how many bigamous/polygamous marriages there were. About 5 years ago, or so, JihadWatch put out an article that Muslims had defrauded the UK Government of, £8Billion approx.
There is littel doubt that this is happening right across the Western world.

Polygamy/Bigamy has most certainly always been illegal in the UK, as these scumbags all know very well. However, the thing in the UK (and probably also elsewhere) is that islamic polygamous marriages are only ‘unofficially’ conducted through their own religious communities and are therefore ‘private arrangements’ that don’t show up on official records. This works to muslims’ advantage when it comes to getting benefits and social housing, since multiple wives have to be treated as ‘single mothers’ and therefore all receive State funding individually; which means that any one muslim father can have his harem and herd cared for by the British taxpayer at possibly astronomical cost if, say, he divorced and replaced all his wives in turn via the ‘triple talaq’, not only costing £hundreds of thousands over in child benefits, free education, health/maternity costs but robbing genuine British citizens of the existing social housing for which their parents/grandparents had already paid through their taxes – and the evidence of this sort of thing has been very apparent for years in ‘enriched’ areas such as the infamous Borough of Newham where you now need a microscope to find an English person.
By the way, one wonders why the toxic specimen featured in this story didn’t just just divorce his unco-operative spouse, unless, of course, he’d married her officially to get the tax breaks and wanted to avoid the legal fees; and of course, murder is an easy option for muslims, as in the case of the muslim in the Leeds area who, assisted by his sister, murdered his young English wife because she refused to wear Pakistani garb.
Also, grossly excessive use and abuse of the UK’s social benefit system is commonplace with muslims in the country. A muslim MP (or local councillor?) was recently convicted of fraud when she dishonestly got her hands on a local authority apartment – and she probably wasn’t even vaguely unique. And the Pakistani muslim tradition of cousin-marriage (over 50% of marriages in that community) accounts for 33% of the UK’s birth defect cases (from just 3% of the UK population!) costing the NHS £millions in expensive aftercare; whilst driving around just two quite short streets in an ‘enriched’ area of north-east London, I counted at least 13 ‘Disabled Parking’ bays painted on the road outside houses (these expensive markings are usually very rare to non-existent).
We do indeed have a serious problem in the UK.

2023 and you get knuckle draggers like this scumbag. That’s islam for you, a religion with a 7th century Arabian mentality fouling up the human race with its barbaric garbage even in 2023. huge mistake to have let this totally incompatible knuckle dragger into the UK or any civilised, non-Muslim society
Keith O says
Don’t be so harsh Tim, He’s obviously brain damaged.
He/it has the scar on the forehead from banging his skull on the floor, he has the “out to lunch” sign flashing over his head that comes from being inbred and he’s a parking inspector.
I mean, what more evidence do we need??
tim gallagher says
I’m sure that brain damage or mental illness will be the bullshit they try on in defence of this maggot, Keith O. At least it says he is getting life in jail. I’d say it is the Muslim upbringing as usual. This vile ideology has produced so many evil scumbags over the years, hasn’t it. what a blight on the human race islam is.
somehistory says
Sure, 26 times….he didn’t want to hurt her…so he didn’t go for the 27th time.
Looking at his ugly photo, it’s a real wonder any woman would want him…to see him across the breakfast table or know he’s in the bedroom…..
The judge should decide that 90 years must be served before parole.
He deserves to be hanged, or face a firing squad. “Eye for eye,” could be “stab for stab” and see if he hurts afterward.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
Mrs Hasan should have told her putrid husband that she thought that it was a “great idea” for him to take another spouse.
Once he left the house, she should have left – permanently and as far away as possible – with her two children and assumed a new identity – and permanently ditch islam.
somehistory says
James, I totally agree. She should have done exactly that. It would have saved her life and she could still be caring for her kids.
How often we read of people doing exactly the wrong thing and it leads to disaster. Common sense, reasoned thinking, thoughtful actions…seem to be in very short supply.
Keith O says
A mudslime traffic warden? So he’s a c*#t on many levels.
Alan Catterall says
Polygamy and bigamy is illegal in the uk ; unless there’s a two tier system now . One the other hand how do they cope with multiple mothers in laws ; it’s beyond me .

That murderous action was “Islamic family values” into practice.
