Asylum Seeker wants his second wife to join him.

Post by IrishTom » Mon Feb 08, 2010 10:20 am

A muslim is taking a landmark High Court case demanding that the Irish state recognise his polygamous marriage.

The man is from Lebanon, where polygamy is permitted. He is married to two women and has been granted Irish citizenship.

Seven years ago the Department of Justice refused to grant the man’s first wife a visa. The Lebanese entered Ireland with his second wife and claimed asylum. His first wife did not arrive until much later. The man has children with both women.

After its decision was challenged, the justice department agreed to quash its refusal to issue a visa to the first wife. But as part of this settlement the man is required to ask the High Court to rule on the validity of his marriage under section 29 of the 1995 Family Law Act.

The state and the wives are all represented in the case. The residency rights of both spouses will depend on the decision. A number of similar cases are awaiting the outcome

So are you 'The Times' correspondent or something ?? Why are you trying to create sensation by calling it 'A muslim' instead of 'A Muslim man' as benifa corrected you ?

No wonder you have been put on 'thin ice'.

Here is some difference...The guys is not an asylum seeker since he's irish....strange that they would be this stupid and say this.

on another hand, I am happy that he goes back to liban marry as many wives he wants.....Ireland laws are Ireland laws.

He should be prosecuted for an irish citizen and having 2 wives...it is against the law.

That case was lost because the man was actually polygamously married. There have been a number of cases since about the validity of potentially polygamous marriages where the applicant has succeeded (polygamy is permitted by law in almost every country where Islam is the primary religion so when a person gets married in, say, Sudan, the marriage is potentially polygamous). The main case is called Hamza - High Court decision of Cooke J - which was appealed by the Minister to the Supreme Court. A decision should be delivered any day now which will clarify many of these issues.

The interesting thing about that case was that it was the first wife who wanted to come to Ireland. The second wife was already here.

I could not understand how she lost - her marriage was the first one, so it should have been the one recognised.
