noted that the girl had not signed the marriage certificate. Her parents were not present

mandate that prevails. Judge made it very clear that in Islamic societies Polygamous
marriages are permitted but only in certain circumstances, that is primarily in situations
where a mansdeath hasleft hiswidow withno means orsupport. Polygamy isneither
mandatory nor encouraged but merely permitted. The Korans conditional endorsement
stresses that self interest or sexual desire should not be the reason for entering into a
polygamous marriage. It is a practical duty that is associated with the social duty of
Islamic men to protect the social and financial standing of widow and orphans in their
community.
