cleric Ahamd al-Tayeb has said that the way it is practiced (polygamya) is often due to the misunderstanding of the Koran, the BBC writes, the Perixopi broadcasts.
After a debate arose, Al-Azhar explained that the clergyman was not calling for a ban on polygamy.
He claimed that monogamy is a rule and polygamy disfellowshipped.
“Those who say a marriage should be polygamic are wrong”, he said. The Koran, he added, says a Muslim may have more than one wife, but he must abide by the conditions of justice, on the contrary having more than one wife. ”
While the cleric al-Tayeb also complained to further the way women are addressed. “Grath represents half of society. If we don't worry about them, it's like walking on one foot”, he tweeted.
The National Council of Women in Egypt responded positively to these statements.
The Islamic rule honours women, has brought justice and a number of rights that previously did not exist”, said Maya Morsi, chairman of the council.
Polygamy means marriage/communication with more than one partner.
