Last year my wife split up with me. Not my doing at all. Now she has a meal ticket for life, all my money and assets are lost, I've no control over the children at all and only see them at the weekends. I am a highly productive high earner and I've been utterly bankrupted by this
Now, I've spent some time in the Gulf, and I know how it works in Muslim country. And it is much better for men. You retain custody of the children. Divorce is simple and cheap (compared to the thousands I am still spending on lawyers) - just say "I divorce thee, I divorce thee, I divorce thee" to her. Then she has to go back to her parents.
Islamic family law is streets ahead of us. It has none of the problems that we have, where women are directly bribed to break up with their husbands. Nor is the capital of the most productive people in our society, professional men, stolen and ruined - we keep it and carry on investing. There is a certain financial loss to women in divorce.
Also, frankly the thing about being able to take second wives makes things much more convenient. It is common for a professional man to want to take a second wife, especially when his first wife is beyond childbearing years. We do too. Just we have to go there awful rigmarole of divorce and the destruction of the assets we worked our whole life to build up. Not so with the muslims. So long as you can support a second wife you can, leaving the existing wife in place and not disrupting anything at all. It is much better.
I'm quite convinced that family law in Western Christian countries will lead to Islamisation. For me, it would have been much better. I could live with not eating pork for that - I much prefer beef and lamb anyway.
