“Dollar per Wife Table”

Filed under: Humour, Iran, Islam, Islamic Republic — Kamangir @ 3:08 pm

6bo14kk.jpgA new pro-polygamy bill has just been sent to the parliament by the cabinet. The bill eliminates the necessity of the wife’s permission for the husband getting married again. Labyrinth mocks the aspect of the bill which replaces the wife’s permission with only economic power [Persian].

As Ahmadinejad’s government has set the only condition for re-marriage to affording it, based on the court’s decision, the Judiciary has just issued a table. Men should know that if the number of their wives does not comply with this table, they will have to divorce the excessive wives and pay a fine.

Monthly Income Number of Wives
More than $5,000 Four Permanent, Infinite Temporary
Between $2,000 and $5,000 Four Permanent, Two Hundred Temporary
Between $1,000 and $2,000 Two Permanent, Fifty Temporary
Between $500 and $1,000 One Permanent, Five Temporary
Less than $500 Do it Yourself

  5. Polygamy is already part of Sharia, isn’t it? And divorce is the exclusive right of the husband??

    Kamangir: I guess both sentences are correct.
