Map Accuracy?

The map notes say "India, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Sri Lanka:legal for Muslims only," but those countries represent 3/4 colors from the key. At the very least, Sri Lanka's dark blue color contradicts that statement (and Eritrea's contradicts note 2), and it brings into question the accuracy of the map as a whole.

Discussion about A study of Bedouin-Arab women

As Robin Hood pointed out the paragraph remains. And I would like to discuss it. If there is discussion is necessary to. So I hope this work. @RobinHood70, Bonadea, and TheLogician112: My own ideas about the current incorporation of the study is that with the modifier that shows that it was these kind of woman in this kind of culture that its okay as it stands. I was thinking about the weight and I re-read this article one more time and the rest of the criticism section and I think that the weight of the study is fine. Despite the low number of participants and suchs. (only like 400 something). If any of you have problems with this want more weight to be added to the study or want to remove it. Then please let me know I am more open for suggestions. I would also like you all if you have time to examine the other sources of the criticism section if you have the time. Which I will be doing now, and if necessary will make a reply to myself about them NathanWubs (talk) 09:15, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Incest

Do you think polygamy is exactly the same as incest?

Polygamy is defently is illegal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.101.6.135 (talk) 01:41, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Kobani/Ayn al-Arab

Syria is currently listed as Polygamous marriage performed: Nationwide in the template thing. It's now prohibited in Kobanî. http://syriadirect.org/news/syria-direct-news-update-8-31-15/ 2601:600:8500:B2D9:612B:3A31:E262:B037 (talk) 23:18, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Anti-polygynous bias

I understand the inclusion of some field data that does indeed prove disadvantage points, but studies that claim economic disadvantages versus "traditional monogamy", "Rawlsian theory" and the original research done by the editors had to be removed. I can understand that some people feel strongly against polygyny, but the opposite side is not even represented in this article (saying it is under-represented is a massive understatement).

It is attested that many widows and orphans have benefited from polygyny in Islamic countries, for which I will try to find proper sources, and most of the Islamic countries bar the ones in the African continent feel fine about the practice per their beliefs (which inherently clash with the Western notion of "human rights" - see Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam). Given that Africa is poor in general compared to the HDI of the Arabian peninsula, the removed studies are inherently flawed. --92slim (talk) 08:15, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
