Malásia: 'Forget the virgin for your second wife – marry a single mum.'

Forget the virgin for your second wife – marry a single mum. That’s the message the Islamic party in Malaysia has given this week.
Wan Ubaidah Omar, the cabinet minister in charge of women, family and health for the state of north Kelantan, said: "Muslim men usually like young girls or virgins as their additional wives, so I suggest instead of taking these young virgin girls, why don't they marry the single mothers as their second or third wife?" she said.

"This will ease the burden of the single mothers as the men can help them to take care of their children. The single ladies have no burden.”

Polygamy, though legal in Malaysia, has been campaigned against by women’s groups in the country, reports news.com.au. Ubaidah Omar says she isn’t seeking to promote the practice – merely help the 16,500 single mothers in her state.
