As a bright, eager student at Cambridge University, with one degree already under her belt, Nabilah Phillips could look forward to a successful career and comfortable future.
After completing her engineering PhD she would, perhaps, take up a coveted, highly-paid job in industry, or stay on as an academic lecturing the next generation.
Instead, however, Nabilah, now 35, took an extremely unexpected path.She abandoned her studies, forfeiting her hard-won university place and entered a polygamous marriag e, becoming the second wife of London businessman Hasan Phillips, 32 who has since acquired a third wife.
Nabilah, her husband and his two other wives are part of a growing number of polygamous marriages taking place in Britain. They are rubber-stamped under Sharia law, which considers polygamy completely legitimate as Muslim men are permitted to take up to four wives.
It is, of course, in complete contradiction to UK law, under which bigamy is illegal and can result in a prison sentence of up to seven years.
But as such marriages are not recognised by English courts and around 70 to 75 per cent of Muslim weddings go unregistered those who marry under the system are not subject to prosecution.
As a result, the practice is becoming increasingly commonplace across Britain, with 20,000 polygamous marriages now estimated to have taken place here.

If you looked up idiot in the dictionary you will find Nabilah’s name as an alternative spelling.
Shari’a law now rules Britannia.
“As a bright, eager student “
either she’s not too bright, or maybe it shouldn’t be anyone’s business how many wives a guy has.
in any case, when a person starts an article describing a person with the flavor of being a victim, and the person’s circumstance is voluntary, I usually stop reading.
Her name SHOULD be غبي, that is, ghabii = STUPID.
Islamic culture is simply not compatible with the values, institutions, social and scientific advances of the West that constitutes. Muslim societies when confronted with modernity crumble into chaos and violence. Witness the Mideast. Multiculturalism is nonsense.
I guess you can’t criticize the Gals...those guys look like barrels O’ fun.
BOOT, the Asians out of England.
Their logic is as foreign to us and ours is to them.
Their BEST efforts were RIGHT HERE!
Ugh, saw the picture! Is he really wealthy????
American sentiment would seem to be quite close, as long as the multi-wife unions don’t try to claim spousal benefits. You can shack up in any way you see fit today. Sharia or Polynesian, nobody seems to care.
Well that sounds obvious.
Actually the sharia max is 4, not 3, but the unused slot is saved for one night stands.
There is no max. Muhammad(may pigs be upon him) said get one, two, three, or four wives. He could only count till 4. True story. He was a complete illiterate, on top of being a murderous pedophile pirate.
And many of the those multi-wived marriages are getting welfare to support them!
BINGO
They cut his thumb off?
I know. My husband and I lived in Saudi Arabia (Ras Tanura) for five years when he worked for ARAMCO. He worked at Juay'mah for three of those years.
My boss and thirty men in our department were all Saudis. I used to ask my boss and the other Saudis where I worked if they had multiple wives.
They all said two things:
1. Only the wealthiest men can AFFORD multiple/four wives. If he gives ONE wife a new house, he HAS to give the SAME thing to the other three.
2. When I asked them about multiple wives they ALL said the same thing: One wife is enough.
Orthodox sharia keeps it to four and that’s what counts. The slot is generally kept open for an overnight marriage.
