The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi has said he will propose a law that will restrict poor men in the emirate from marrying many wives. While speaking in Abuja on Sunday, February 19, at the 50th anniversary of the death of Ambasador Isa Wali, a former Nigerian High Commissioner to Ghana, Sanusi said he has established connection between polygamy, poverty and terrorism.
He said he would make sure that a law would be passed by the state government to ban such moves by men who would not be able to cater for many wives. He said the law would be passed to immortalize the late ambassador who was one of the first northern leaders to advocate for gender equality. Sanusi said the law will address the law will address the real position of Islam on marriage., outlaw forced marriages and make domestic violence illegal. He also said it will put conditions to be met before any man can marry a second wife and spell out the responsibilities of a father beyond producing a child. The Emir said while there is nothing wrong with polygamy, women must be given the opportunity to thrive.
