The first edition of the “JaafarTalk”, the new DW-broadcast of a presenter Jaafar Abdul Karim, has triggered an enormous audience echo. In the network, the recording of the Beirut recorded discussion about a Million has been clicked Times – so great was the excitement in the broadcast, held the dispute was. The Topic Of Polygamy.
Is it right that a man should have several wives? Or is that a custom, which has always been questionable, and today completely outdated? On this question of the guests clashed in the air of the two: the Saudi, with three women married lawyer Youssef Alquait and the Iraqi women’s rights activist and architect Mawj Aldarraji.
Polygamy was appropriate, says Alquait. His justification: “I want a wife, so every Time I want to have Sex, I have you right in front of me.” Aldarraji countered initially with the same Argument: “And I need a man, so every Time I want to have Sex, he is available to me.”
But the lawyer saw a difference: “I mean seven days, if she has her period. Then a man not to touch a woman.” – “He can’t hold it together for seven days?”, back asks Aldarraji. “I’m here only for Sex, without any feelings or any emotions?”
Armed to the personal insult
In this style it went on. Alquait pointed out that Sex is also 40 days after a birth. On Aldarrajis note that women do not voluntarily, “he replied,” they understand the Psyche of the man. “You’re not enough for your husband”, after he pushed. And more: “Your husband is sexually cold…”

The practice of polygamy in Islam in the Surah of 4.3. “And if you fear to act, to the orphans, to not meet, marry of the women, what seemeth you good – two, three, or four”, it says. The Surah gives further instructions: “And if you fear that you will not do justice, then only one, or what you have to slaves! You can avoid most likely to injustice.” (from the Koran in the Transmission of Hartmut Bobzin).
“Polygyne marriages with a maximum of four women at the same time, are regarded as legitimate,” writes the lawyer and Islamic scholar Mathias Rohe, “if any woman is financed in a private House. Allowed in addition, without limiting the intercourse with slaves.” “Slaves,” however, is a problematic term. The Saudi Arabia-expert Madawi Al-Rasheed points out that the influential Wahhabi theologians in Saudi Arabia under the term young women from Southeast Asia, the aid originally came as a household into the country by their male employers, but sexually repressed and exploited.
The discussion in the network
In recent times, the legitimacy of polygamy is drawn, however, is increasingly in doubt. The Grand Imam of Cairo’s Al-Azhar mosque, Ahmad Mohammad Al-Tayyeb, one of the most respected theologians of the Islamic world had expressed in March of this year critical of the polygamy. In Islam’s widespread practice of plural marriage come from a lack of understanding of the Koran and is often an injustice to women and children, he said, according to media reports from the weekend in his weekly TV show. For a prohibition of polygamy, the Muslim clerics that it was not.
According to a controversial discussion of the show on the Internet as well as in a street survey, the presenter Jaafar Abdul Karim in Berlin Sonnenallee was made.
Some Twitter users criticized the principle of polygamy:
“Some men see women only as a tool to satisfy their sexual desires,” reads this Tweet.
“A successful marriage is when the husband and wife are also friends and you deal with all the honest, writes user “man”.
Others, however, for the polygamy:
“She speaks from a principle of jealousy and the rejection of polygamy”, one reads in the user “ahlnbcom”. “God created men and women and the law on polygamy. A woman should not be selfish, and her husband denied the polygamy out of jealousy, if it is satisfied that it complies with all its obligations, and nothing is missing.”
“Things that are allowed by the Sharia, not to debate,” writes Ahmed Wehady.
No agreement in views
A similar controversy, the opinions in the street survey, led by Jaafar Abdul Karim is in Berlin for the shipment showed up.

Polygamy is wrong, explains a young man. “I reject you completely.” The woman right next to him: they reject you also. Otherwise, it looks to be a slightly older Couple. “If I do not fulfill my obligations and he feels me uncomfortable, and him to me something is missing, then I allow it to him.” And another Passer-by says: “If a woman is missing something that the man has the right to a second wife.” But if the woman is lacking something, then you should have no the second man, a wasted Jaafar Abdul Karim. “So the Religion is our Religion dictates so.” Similar it looks to a younger man, early 20’s. “I’m going to marry the second, the third and the fourth woman, no Problem,” he says. “But the law forbids you”, says the Moderator. “But I don’t marry according to the law, I’m going to marry Islamically,” replied the man.
The consignment shows that The polygamy is also in the Arab world is under pressure. But it remains a phenomenon of the present. Also, the Federal Republic of Germany is challenged to engage with it.
