ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Polygamy is a valuable way of saving women from becoming "aged virgins", Malaysia's leading Islamist politician says.
Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, the spiritual leader of the PAS Party, called on Muslim wives not to react violently if their husbands tell them that they want to take a second wife.
They should consider the plight of other women "who would become aged virgins until they die because the men who want them are blocked from marrying them".
Mr Nik Abdul Aziz is the chief minister of the northeastern state of Kelantan, which the PAS has ruled for 15 years. One of his sons is detained under Malaysia's internal security act as a suspected Islamic radical.
Under Malaysian law, polygamy is legal for Muslims, who make up a little over half of the population. But they must fulfil various conditions before being allowed to take extra wives, up to a maximum of four."
