2 brides, 2 days: 1 man's love vs custom

[facaldo]

A 23-year-old Pakistani man plans to marry two women in 24 hours, gaining national attention for his novel solution to a dilemma over wedding the woman he loves or going ahead with the marriage his family arranged.

Pakistani law allows polygamy based on the concept that Islam, the main religion in the country, allows up to four wives.

As long as he can pay for both of the wives, I see no problem here. Although, I can see the arranged wife being neglected for quite awhile.

Marrying both is silly. Love > custom imo.

Considering she is being sold to him she may be happy he does not care about her in the slightest so will leave her alone.

Honestly, that's fairly run of the mill for that part of the world.

I'd rather he go for love then stay with the custom.

Ah yes, selling women - what an age we live in.

Don't criticise them! It's part of their culture! We must always remember you can do whatever you want as long as everybody else is doing it too.
