Controversy Over Polygamy Reaches Boiling Point in Most of Pakistan Karachi, Pakistan (U.R) A pretty Canadian-born secretary married a prime minister and touched off one of the stormiest controversies within the Moslem religion. ' The controversy rages around polygamy, for the secretary be came the second wife of, the then prime minister, Mohammed Ali, more than a year ago. Almost immediately modern thinking women of the country began a loud protest. Their com plaints led to the formation of the seven member government commission on marriage and family laws. Traditionally a man can take as many as four wives here. But the commission, with three women members, think that a man should have more than one wife only in extremely rare cases. It proposed the es tablishment of a special matri monial court to decide when these rare cases exist. Must B Capablt A husband should be allowed to take a second wife "only if he is judged to be capable of doing justice in every respect t6 more than one wife," the commission said. It also recommended that wo men be given the same rights as men in divorces and that the legal age for marriage be raised to 18 for men and 16 for women, a radical change in the marriage customs in Pakistan. The recommendations drew a loud protest from the high priest of the powerful Moslem reli gious organization Jamaat-E-Islami. He called on all Moslem or ganizations to oppose them until "they are buried in oblivion for good." Sentiments Ignored "They ignore the sentiments of Moslems," he said, "and even a casual student of Islam would detect that most of the recom mendations are in direct con flict with the dictates of the Koran." The Koran recommendation is that "no person can marry a sec ond wife in the lifetime of the first without the intervention of a matrimonial court." "With respect to polygamy, which has become a hotly de bated issue in every Moslem so ciety, the commission adhered to the Kranic view," commis sion members said. "Polygamy is neither enjoyed nor permitted unconditionally nor encouraged by the holy book."
