Islamic law revision and common sense

Islamic law revision and common sense

I wish to congratulate The Jakarta Post for printing an
interview with Professor Siti Musdah Mulia.

In Canada many are working to get Section 293 of the Criminal
Code of Canada which outlaws polygamy in our country declared
constitutional so that polygamy will be banned and prosecuted.

The strain on the social purse strings, the alleged abuse
within polygamous communes, the denial of human rights and
quality educational opportunities in the polygamous communes of
Canada is appalling.

Professor Siti Musdah Mulia and her team are courageously
speaking not only for the problems of polygamy in Islam but for
the parallel problems in Mormon Fundamentalist and Christian
Fundamentalist sects that practice polygamy as well.
