In the beginning of 1980s, specific and detailed provisions on polygamy
were enacted under the Islamic Family Law Enactment. One of the
purpose of this provision is to control the practice in order to avoid difficulties
and problems (if any) faced my Muslim Women. In some cases,
women suffer financially and emotionally when their husband abuse the
permission granted by the Qur' an. Therefore, this article discusses the
rights of Muslim Women in polygamous marriage as provided under
Islamic Family Law Enactment and to what extent the law protects
muslim women from any abuses in such marriages.
