Ban on polygamy will lead to illicit sex: AIMPLB
Defending polygamy, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board has said a ban on the practice would lead to illicit sex. "An unlawful mistress is more harmful for social fabric than a lawful second wife," it reasoned. It is a "social need" and a "blessing" for women, AIMPLB told the Supreme Court while advocating non-interference in the Muslim religious laws.
