Dear Editor,
Am I the only one that read this article? Members of a Muslim organization met with ERC commisioner Bishop Juan Edghill and they are proposing polygamy be introduced in the Muslim community in Guyana? Where do these people think they live? In Saudi Arabia or the Middle East, where this practice is quite common? I have a question. If polygamy is indeed approved as they wish, are Muslim women free to take as many husbands as they want? Where are the women’s organizations? Why aren’t they outraged about this?
I also read they want to sanction marriages of girls who are under the age of consent. Isn’t this paedophilia? What are the GHRA and the children’s welfare protection agency stands on this issue?
These things are morally and ethically wrong and must be condemned most vigorously.
Yours faithfully,
Nohar Singh
