Bassam Za’za’; 22/9/08

An Emirati housewife (of Indian origin) and a Pakistani electrician have been charged with polygamy and forging their marriage contract. Under Sharia law, a woman cannot have two husbands at one time. According to records, the 35-year-old woman left her Emirati husband’s house here and eloped with the 42-year-old Pakistani to his country where they claimed she was unmarried and entered into a marriage contract.
