Egyptian debate over polygamy and husbands
The article discusses a wide-ranging controversy sparked by an announcement from a man known as a Salafi preacher about launching a "Multiple Marriages Course" for 400 Egyptian pounds (approximately 6.8 euros), claiming to teach how to deal with more than one wife based on his personal experiences and real-life examples. The announcement was widely ridiculed on social media, with some viewing it as a symbol of commodifying a sensitive social issue and recycling it in the form of paid courses, amidst ongoing economic hardship and increasing social dynamics. Additionally, Al-Azhar scholars criticized this type of marketing, emphasizing that it represents a misinterpretation and manipulation of religion, especially since the issue involves complex Islamic principles that cannot be reduced to quick courses or promotional advertisements. The controversy continues in Egypt as the proposed new Personal Status Law debates matters related to marriage and family rights.
