(Ha'aretz) Ruth Sinai - The Prime Minister's Office is seeking to reduce or end child allowances to families in which the father has more than one wife. Bigamy is forbidden by law, but the Sharia (Islamic law) courts in Israel were allowing Muslim men to circumvent the civil law. The initiative also targets the practice of Bedouin men bringing women from the territories and Jordan into Israel as additional wives, some of whom come with children from previous marriages. Around 30% of Bedouin men are believed to have more than one wife. 2003-03-13 00:00:00Full Article
