Danish laws prohibiting polygamy can be circumvented

Excerpt:

Although it is illegal in Denmark, it appears that polygamy is still being practised under the radar by some Muslims.

Fakti, a group that works with refugees and immigrant women, has come across a number of instances of women talking about marriages involving several wives, reports Berlingske.

Ida Jensen, a social worker with the group, estimates that at least 30 women she has talked to have said their husbands have a second wife. “The women say this is quite a normal practice. They think it is a man’s right according to Islam,” Jensen continued.

Although the subject is taboo, according to the women it is okay if a man takes another wife if the first one is incapable of performing her wifely duties.
