Last month I made my way to Rawang, a town some 50 kilometres from KL city, to meet up with the club founder and some of her followers and family members. It was one of the most unusual interviews I have ever done.

Islam & Muslim
Life is not easy for a single mother, I’ve heard. Dating is a pain, making ends meet is a pain, providing a good masculine influence for both son and daughter is a pain. But the government doesn’t want just any old Muslim dudes to take these ladies off the market. They want guys who have solid government jobs and presumably some level of accountability.

The conservative Islamic party has called for Muslim men in the country to marry single mothers instead of “young virgin girls,” said a state official. Al-Arabiya news channel quoted Wan Ubaidah, head of women, family and health affairs in a northern state, remarking that although Malaysian men usually prefer young and virgin girls as their additional wives, this new proposal would help single mothers and widows who are finding it hard to raise their kids.

Malaysian legislators in the poor conservative Muslim northeastern state of Kelantan should marry single mothers to help care for their children, a state representative suggested.

This Bedouin man living in Israel certainly takes the command of be fruitful and mulitply seriously! In my opinion though, he seems to have a relaxed view of marriage in spite of having 8 wives. This article is an interesting look at how this man’s society is able to get away from the Muslim rule that a man can only have 4 co-wives at a time. He is interested in marrying his 9th wife! I would like to hear more about their daily life and how the family operates.
