Sep. 2021 The Polygamy Paradox: A Feminist Re-Understanding of Polygamy, Human Movement and Human Rights Sasha Holden 0933507 PhD Candidate King’s College School of Law 1 June 2017 Abstract This thesis is about the boundaries of domestic immigration law and international human rights regarding polygamy. It considers how polygamous wives are treated, and why. Polygamy has traditionally been viewed in the West as ‘harmful’, both to women and society. Western legal systems do not allow domestic plural marriage, and international human rights institutions recommend the prohibition of polygamy. Despite that, valid foreign polygamous marriages are recognised in the United Kingdom, particularly where it would be more harmful to do otherwise—except in immigration. The Immigration Act 1988 and Immigration Rules exclude additional polygamous wives from reuniting with their families. No exception is made and any harm that women are likely to suffer as a result is irrelevant. This thesis argues that the treatment of additional polygamous wives, particularly in the refugee context where women are more likely to be exposed to insecurity and harm, presents a ‘polygamy paradox’. While formal objections to polygamy are apparently based on harm, they are likely to cause more harm than good. This work interrogates the stance on polygamy to consider not only its paradoxical effect, but what informs this outcome. Applying a critical legal understanding, this thesis exposes not only the unintended consequences of the law. It also highlights what has shaped legal boundaries, historically and more recently, revealing a hidden bias that undermines the legitimacy and efficacy of laws and rights. This work concludes by offering a renewed feminist framework for the consideration of polygamy; one which takes account of gender, history and power. Ordinary epistemological foundations for the treatment of polygamy are disturbed, so the voices of women who have occupied a neglected space at the centre of laws, rights and reality as a relentlessly excluded ‘other’ are heard, and the content of laws and rights may be improved. 2 Acknowledgements My acknowledgements here are much more than the performance of a required ritual, and represent my heartfelt and genuine gratitude to all of those who are mentioned, who have supported me through to the completion of this research. I have written this thesis during a period of both profound grief and ineffable happiness, latterly experienced in isolated surroundings. It is the support and encouragement of those people mentioned here that have made getting to this point possible. My principal thanks go to my primary supervisor, Dr. Prabha Kotiswaran whose intellectual rigour and on-going commitment to this work have added so much to the final product. I am immensely grateful to you for your willingness to support me following my return, for your extraordinary critical insight and for holding me to account, right to the very end. I have learned so much from you and I am in no doubt that this work is immeasurably improved as a result of your discernment and dedication. It has been an enormous privilege to work with you, and one I have enjoyed very much. I wish also to thank from the bottom of my heart my second supervisor, Professor Aileen McColgan. Having your academic contribution has been a fantastic privilege from the start of this project and the intellectual guidance you have provided has been invaluable. The gratitude I feel at the kindness and patience you’ve shown in supporting me through some terribly tough experiences, from start to finish, is also immense. I will always owe you an enormous debt of heartfelt thanks. I am also grateful to other colleagues at King’s College London for their support over the course of completing this work. To Dr. Lorenzo Zucca and Professor Penny Green for their initial confidence in me and this project, as well as their kindness and patience when Lola was born. Also, to Professor Ann Mumford and Lindsey McBrane for their help and encouragement following my return to King’s, after parental leave with Indie. On each of these occasions, I was so grateful to benefit from practical assistance, with a welcome dose of kindness and understanding. To other academic and administrative staff at King’s, including Professor Maleiha Malik, Professor Rob Wintemute and Dr. Vanja Hamzic, who I enjoyed teaching with very much, and others who have provided much needed help along the way, my thanks. I am also grateful for the full-time studentship provided by King’s as well as the generous scholarship from the New Zealand Vice Chancellor’s Committee. Outside of the institutional support I have received, my thanks must go to my dear colleagues and friends who spent time and energy encouraging me and commenting on this project. Foremost thanks go to my dearly loved friend, Dr. Ned Djordjevic, for his incredible generosity and insightful feedback, and to his wonderful husband, Dimitar Panov, for his incredible technical expertise and help, despite his despair with my rubbish formatting; I owe you both so much. To Professor Shaunnagh Dorsett for your inspiration and your on-going faith, kindness and friendship, which I treasure. To Gerrit Pulles, Claire Mullord, Dr. Dean Knight, Catherine Callaghan, Professor Claudia Geiringer and Dr. Laura Lo Coco; you are all adored in equal measure and your support, at various points along the way, have been so very much appreciated by me. To the very lovely Dr. Claire Charters, thank you for being there in the days of those early losses, to encourage me. To my second favourite black letter, doctrinal 3 lawyer, Chris Hare, thank you for taking the time to listen to someone speak ‘at’ you about all of this stuff, for listening with such good grace and for giving me such sound advice. And last but not least, to Dr. Dr. (I still can’t believe you have two) Lucy Cutler for some of the best practical advice and the warmest emotional support I could wish for. Special thanks must also go to those friends we consider Godparents to our girls, and our own guardian angels. Our dearest friends who supported us through our grief after Lola’s loss and shared our joy following India’s safe arrival; Mark and Rach, Heather and Hayds, Amanda and Chris, Claire and Sally, and to Lucy and Tom, and Dr. Sinead Agnew and Kathryn Purkis, who also provided such a warm and welcoming homes for me in England to finish things off. You are all very dear and cherished friends. And so to other friends. Far, far too many kind souls to mention all of you separately, so forgive me for expressing my thanks, mostly, in small groups so that I have some hope of including everyone who is dear to us, and who has been a great support. Thanks to the Kennington crew, the warm-hearted Grouville Gang, the delightfully mad St George’s Mamas, new and no-less cherished Helvetia chums, other dear chums in Blighty and Jersey and my precious people and extended whanau back home, in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Each one of you is loved and appreciated, and those who are not here to see this day are sorely missed. And to those who have provided love and support to Indie, when I could not: most especially, our dear Torie, KB and the lovely Clearys, Sof and Ange and Nina, but also Maia, Olivia, Kylie and others, thank you so very much. Thanks also to those who helped to keep me physically and mentally functioning, including Alex Jones, Martin and Mandy Bonhomme, Janicke Michael, Laura Storey, Tom Faulkner and Adrienne. Many thanks also to the various organisations and people who assisted with enquiries for information or feedback, including Anna Musgrave (Refugee Council), Tirana Hassan (Amnesty International), Danielle Bell (United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan), Adrienne Davis, Pascale Fournier, Melanie Raymond, Werner Menski, Katharine Charsley, Jeremy Bierbach, Ian Sumner, Jacob Beswick, David Ryken, Sameena Dalwai and the Women’s Refugee Commission. Thanks also to the Maughan Library for their willingness to help with the desperate requests of an isolated academic stranded on a small island, the Jersey Law Institute for providing such a welcoming space for me to work at and retreat to on island, and to Marco at Jersey Public Library for the warm local welcome.

MOORE DIED, a grand old man, in 1958. At the time of his death he was respected as an exponent of common-sense philosophy and a precursor of ordinary-language philosophy, which was then fashionable. To admit, as Moore admitted (in Schilpp, p. 14), that philosophical problems were not suggested to him by the world, but only by what philosophers had said about the world, wa~ taken to indicate, not a certain narrowness of vision, but a deep wisdom­ the sign of a man who knows which part of the apple's got the worm. In these respects Moore seemed in the 1950'S a much more modern figure than Russell, whose view that philosophy should aim at a reform of the fabric of knowledge was dismissed as nineteenth-century megalomania. With the subsequent evap­ oration of ordinary-language philosophy, Moore's reputation has suffered a decline. It is only recently that he has come to be seen in historical perspective, and what now seems of most importance is his early work. What he wrote after about 1903, when Principia E thica and "The Refutation ofIdealism" appeared, seems, with one or two exceptions, ofmuch less interest. Like almost everyone else, Russell thought Moore's Ethics (1912) "very poor",2 but he also thought that even Principia Ethica was "nothing like so good" as "The Nature ofJudg­ ment", in which Moore firmly parted company with neo-Hegelianism and Moore and Bloomsbury began the development of analytic philosophy.3 There is something to be said for Russell's judgment (much of it revealed, however unwillingly, by Begum's by Nicholas Griffin book).

  • Negotiating Polygamy in Indonesia
    Negotiating Polygamy in Indonesia. Between Muslim Discourse and Women’s Lived Experiences Nina Nurmila Dra (Bandung, Indonesia), Grad.Dip.Arts (Murdoch University, Western Australia), MA (Murdoch University) Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2007 Gender Studies - Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT Unlike most of the literature on polygamy, which mainly uses theological and normative approaches, this thesis is a work of social research which explores both Indonesian Muslim discourses on polygamy and women’s lived experiences in polygamous marriages in the post-Soeharto period (after 1998). The thesis discusses the interpretations of the Qur’anic verses which became the root of Muslim controversies over polygamy. Indonesian Muslim interpretations of polygamy can be divided into three groups based on Saeed’s categorisation of the Muslim approaches to the Qur’an (2006b: 3). First, the group he refers to as the ‘Textualists’ believe that polygamy is permitted in Islam, and regard it as a male right. Second, the group he refers to as ‘Semi-textualists’ believe that Islam discourages polygamy and prefers monogamy; therefore, polygamy can only be permitted under certain circumstances such as when a wife is barren, sick and unable to fulfil her duties, including ‘serving’ her husband’s needs. Third, the group he calls ‘Contextualists’ believe that Islam implicitly prohibits polygamy because just treatment of more than one woman, the main requirement for polygamy, is impossible to achieve. This thesis argues that since the early twentieth century it was widely admitted that polygamy had caused social problems involving neglect of wives and their children.

    THESIS POLYGAMY ON THE WEB: AN ONLINE COMMUNITY FOR AN UNCONVENTIONAL PRACTICE Submitted by Kristen Sweet-McFarling Department of Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2014 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Lynn Kwiatkowski Cindy Griffin Barbara Hawthorne Copyright by Kristen Sweet-McFarling 2014 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT POLYGAMY ON THE WEB: AN ONLINE COMMUNITY FOR AN UNCONVENTIONAL PRACTICE This thesis is a virtual ethnographic study of a polygamy website consisting of one chat room, several discussion boards, and polygamy related information and links. The findings of this research are based on the interactions and activities of women and men on the polygamy website. The research addressed the following questions: 1) what are individuals using the website for? 2) What are website members communicating about? 3) How are individuals using the website to search for polygamous relationships? 4) Are website members forming connections and meeting people offline through the use of the website? 5) Do members of the website perceive the Internet to be affecting the contemporary practice of polygamy in the U.S.? This research focused more on the desire to create a polygamous relationship rather than established polygamous marriages and kinship networks. This study found that since the naturalization of monogamous heterosexual marriage and the nuclear family has occurred in the U.S., due to a number of historical, social, cultural, political, and economic factors, the Internet can provide a means to denaturalize these concepts and provide a space for the expression and support of counter discourses of marriage, like polygamy.

The final report was drafted by Dianne Hubbard and Beth Terry (Chapter 5), and edited by Dianne Hubbard. Interviews conducted on behalf of the Legal Assistance Centre (LAC) were carried out by Evelyn Zimba-Naris, Linda Dumba, Ruusa Shipiki, Natasha Bassingthwaighte, Erenstine Kalomo, Maria Mahalie, Uno Katjipuka, Felicity Owoses, Gokulan Thamba- pali, Sakaria Panduleni, Kadhila Amoomo and Stanley Shandapindi. The project was carried out in close consultation with the Gender Training and Research Programme of the Multi-Disciplinary Research and Consultancy Centre at the University of Namibia (UNAM). The LAC participated in the shaping of questionnaires used as the basis for the UNAM report, Women’s Property and Inheritance Rights in Namibia, and data collected by means of those questionnaires has been drawn on by means of independent analysis for this report. These two reports are intended to complement each other and should ideally be read together. The result is, we hope, a rich and multi-faceted look at social and legal aspects of women’s property ownership in different contexts. This report overlaps to some extent with a previous LAC report, Proposals for Law Reform on the Recognition of Customary Marriages (1999). However, this report is informed by subsequent field research in Namibia, by more recent developments in the region, and by proposals put forward by government in the intervening period.
