well i dont think so? its legal where he's done it, and he can't really stay in the US for too much so as a guest he can call them however he wants. he cannot marry them in the US but he can travel with them sure
I don't think their are laws on that... But I don't really know I thought it was frowned on and taboo but not outlawed...
Polygamy is outlawed. But they can visit. They just can't live here as Husband & Wives. But have found ways around it.
@Moonchild714 interesting
I'm not sure I know as US citizens we are required to abide by our law when visiting other countries when I was in the military it didn't matter wether it was legal or not in that country if it was illgal in ours we weren't allowed to do it
Visiting America and moving there are 2 different things.
A sheike can do what ever he wants and no one can stop him!
I would think he couldn't be arrested if he's not a U. S. Citizen and didn't' marry them in the U. S. and was just vacationing in the U. S.
First of... in Islam a guy is allowed to have 4 wives
The picture you are showing doesn't show a sheik's wives... this picture is taken in the ottoman time and in the ottoman empire
At a time... a sultan (the ruler of the empire) must have a lot of servants which are girls... so those aren't his wives
No. They tried to bring in polygamy laws but really in 2020 it's hard to enforce any guy long term banging more than one woman and having kids with them. I mean there's bigamy laws but as long as you dont try to officially marry your good.
No, polygamy in the U. S. is more or less don't ask, don't tell. People who get charged with polygamy are busted for other crimes and polygamy is just thrown on top for more weight.
No and it should be legal here as well. If five adults all want to get married then who are we to say no?
He's probably visiting on a diplomatic Visa. Besides, it only affects people who reside in the United States not visitors, as far as I know.
You're subject to the laws of the location where you live regardless of whether it was legal somewhere else.
Different world, different rules - so yes, he should first get a warning and asked for separation from all other wifes than one or being arrested... ,
The answer can be Googled within half a minute but, it is yes. On United States soil you are subject to United States law.
Your here to visit so why would it matter? there's areas of our country where its mainly dominated by muslims and which they dont follow most of our laws thats goes for most countries around the world. which i feel and find bunch of bullshit.
Non of the above he and they should be refused entry and repatriated. Why should the US tax bare any costs
Money opens lots of doors. America can say nothing to a Saudi Arabian sheikh for example
İf one person have 4 wife, very difficult to handle all of them same time, because everyone need to be sexually please nice, this is not possible...
No, if he keeps his (whatever) nationality, but if he tries to naturalize. probably.
Hell would I know? Ask George W. Bush Jr, responsible for both 9/11 and Pentagon "attacks" back in 2001. More fucked up shit have happened.
