Too Many Babies




Here's a fun story. I'd read about this guy over the summer and can't imagine what his house must be like. 86 KIDS!!!! Incredible.

So, my question for you is, what happens if your (future) husband decides that he needs to break the record? How many kids do you plan to have? Do you think people will have big families in the future or is that aspect of Emirati culture changing?
My favorite part:

Mr Juma’a has had 12 wives: three from Egypt, six from India and three from the UAE. Two from the UAE died and one was divorced.

“You had five from India,” protests his son Omar.

“No, six,” says Mr Juma’a. “I divorced three.” And it is settled.

Mr Juma’a did not divorce his wives to have more children but because, he admits, he was strong-willed in his younger days.

“If the wife does not hear my words I will seek another obedient wife,” he says. “She was not respecting me, maybe she is defaming me through a long tongue. Some wives shouted at me and told me to shut up.”


Another interesting aspect of this story is the number of wives these guys have had, and their ideas about romantic love (it's bad). So, how about you? What's better: a love marriage or an arranged marriage? How would you feel about your husband wanting more than one wife?
