Quote: AGEHI World : Polygamy as a risk factor for child mortality in Northern Sudan [paper read at the annual meeting of Population Association Of America-PAA; March 2001,Washington DC]
El Rayah A.Osman, South Carolina State University, Oragneburg, SC 29117, [email protected]
The main purpose of this matter is to examine the possible links between polygamy (meaning that a man has several wives) and child mortality (death to children under five years of age) in Northern Sudan introduce three hypotheses to account for the effect of polygamy on child survival. Employing data from Sudan Demographic and Health survey (1989/90), logistic regression techniques were used to test these hypotheses. The results show support for the hypothesis that women may experience the cost of polygamy through an increase in child mortality. That is, women living in polygamous marriages have low child survival rates compared to those living in monogamous marriages.

Quote: A call for more polygamy
KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir has urged Sudanese men to take more than one wife in order to double the country's population of 30 million.
The Sudanese should ignore international family planning policies, Bashir said in a speech to the ruling National Congress Party, shown on state television Tuesday night.
He said Sudan needed more people for development, since it is Africa's biggest country and rich in resources.
``We should achieve this aim by having many wives,'' Bashir said.
Men in mainly Muslim Sudan are allowed up to four wives, according to Islamic Sharia law, which Bashir's government promotes. Rebels opposed to Sharia in non-Muslim south Sudan have been fighting for autonomy since 1983. But a divorce under Islamic law is not considered sufficient in British law, and people wishing to remarry must get a document known as a decree absolute before they can do so.
Some Muslim women, badly advised by lawyers ignorant of this, are therefore committing bigamy when they remarry - an offence punishable by seven years' imprisonment.
One lawyer told the BBC that over the last two years he had intervened in a dozen cases.
In some instances, bigamy had taken place.
Trying to find the extent of the problem is likely to be the subject of a second report.
Researchers are now calling on all judges and lawyers to be given training in basic Muslim law, so people can get proper legal advice.
Sonianurin Shah-Kazemi, of the University of Westminster, said it was essential that lawyers should be made aware of crucial differences between British and Muslim law.
"It is very important that those training to become lawyers and those already in the profession are given adequate knowledge about Muslim family law, the situation of conflicts of law.
"This is very easy to do, it could just involve doing an extra lecture a week."
