Greetings,
What are your thoughts of a marriage between HH Sheikh Hamdan or his brothers with African Royalty, say HRH Princess Sikhanyiso Dlamini of Swaziland or HRH Princess Nandi Zulu of the Zulu nation? Would she be an "official" wife or an "unofficial wife"?
I believe that polygamy is a personal choice, though I would not get involved in a polygamous relationship. Does the culture or religion and the law in the UAE require that a man seek his wife's permission to take a second wife? This is the case in South Africa according to culture and law. In fact, Nelson Mandela's grandson Chief Mandla Mandela of the Madiba clan has had one of his marriages annulled, another interdicted from taking place and is also facing bigamy charges as he did not have the consent of his first wife who he his currently in the process of divorcing.

Is this the same in UAE? Do the bride or the family have a say in whether or not additional wives are taken?

Thank you for your openness my european sister. Of course, our society is changing steadily in the UAE as well as all forms of society constantly changing in the world. Society is not static. Many Sheikhs have more than one wife at the same time. But the normal local in more than 80% of cases have only one wife. There is nothing so that all Emirati men have two, three or four wives. The possibility of several women comes from the Quran. But there is this from the religion of clear rules, under which circumstances this is possible. One of them is that they all women in the same way has to supply. This means you must have, of course, a good financial status. It therefore does not change the tradition - you have the opportunity to marry several women continue- but only the financial situation of individuals prevented such multible marriage.
