Trichromatic Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Polygamy is illegal in India under the Hindu Marriage act. It is legal under Muslim Personal Law. :acute: He is leader of a religious sect there. His sect allows polygamy.
DomainK Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 even muslims have 3 wife or 5 wife limiit?? But these guys has double digit wives. Muslims have a 4 wives limit. But interestingly, the actual use of polygamy in Muslims is actually comparatively lower than other religions in India.

It's forbidden for the rest. Many times sects and tribes are unofficially allowed to carry on some of their traditions simply because the government values their votes.

I read about Hindu Marriage Act long ago and interpreted that it is applicable to few religious groups only and not all. I could be wrong though. http://indianchristians.in/news/images/resources/pdf/hindu_marriage_act_1955.pdf
Jersey #10 Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Talking of muslim laws on polygamy, look up the Saudi kings! I believe one of the kings had some 22 wives + 4 un named sex partners with double digit kids
