Gold dinar for polygamous husbands in Kelantan

In a move to encourage polygamous men to be honest about their marriages, the Kelantan government is considering giving gifts in the form of gold dinar and a feast for two at a restaurant as incentives for husbands who do not hide their polygamous marriage in the state.State Women Development, Family and Health Committee chairman Wan Ubaidah Wan Omar said the matter would have to be discussed thoroughly before it could be implemented.

She told this to Bernama in response to a suggestion made by the state government to give special incentive to polygamous men who do not hide their other marriage(s) to avoid problems for the family.

Wan Ubaidah said the committee also planned to invite celebrity polygamist, comedian and Sinar FM deejay Salleh Yaakob to give a talk on Muslim marriage in the state.
