NPR Two-Part Series on Muslim Plural Marriage in the US
Assalaamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh.
Today, NPR (National Public Radio) aired a two-part series on the practice of polygyny amongst Muslims living in the US. The first part focuses on the immigrant community, the second on the African American community. It's interesting to see the contrast between the reactions and opinions expressed in the two communities maashaaAllaah. The second part audio won't be available until around 7 this evening, but maaashaaAllaah the brothers and sisters who were interviewed did an excellent job. So, definitely visit the second story page later to listen to the audio.

It is good. It has given me some good pointers and Walahi I feel good now...I was wondering why most of the women who wrote a piece were no longer in Polygyny. But overall I loved it...I didn't read the first one but only because I followed your blog from the beginning...

Masha'Allah we have been in this plural marriage for 5 years. He is at his max. Allah has truley shown us the good and the not so good and Alhuduillah the good is far better than the bad. . The brother is doing well with this benefit and Insha'Allah we all as a group can use the Prophets(SAW) life with his marriages as the best example for how we work our situations Insha'Allah.
