Reveals: Here the imams offer help with polygamy

Both the Uppsala mosque and the Stenhagen mosque have forced the imams involved in the review to quit.

The Gothenburg mosque states that they follow Swedish marriage rules and emphasizes that the imam explicitly says that he cannot marry the second wife. According to the mosque, the fact that he urges our reporter to search for an imam without state marriage authorization does not mean "that the Gothenburg Mosque recommends or participates in such marriages".

Helsingborg's mosque writes that Sheikh Tarek is not employed by them and that they cannot take responsibility for what he said and that it does not reflect the association's official position, even though it was the vice chairman of the mosque who referred to the sheikh. They must also review their procedures for who they refer to.

The mosque in Örebro writes to us that they clearly dissociate themselves from polygamy, and so does their wedding official during our visit there. The counselor has now been suspended and the management must review who in the mosque answers questions.

The mosque in Rinkeby denies that the man who received our reporters on two different occasions in the mosque has any position there. They therefore do not want to comment on what he said.

The Bosnian Mosque has not responded to our questions.

The imam in the Halmstad mosque who said yes to polygamy quit last summer. He believes that he did nothing wrong, but neither he nor the management want to answer why he quit.

The Rosengård Mosque writes that they follow Swedish law and have given the imam a written warning. We have sought Sheikh Ashraf to whom we were referred without receiving a response.

Polygamy is a crime in Sweden. The criminal code states: "If a married person enters into a new marriage or enters into an unmarried marriage with a married person, they are sentenced for bigamy to a fine or imprisonment for a maximum of two years."

This applies to marriages entered into according to law in Sweden and countries whose marriages Sweden accepts.

The ceremonies covered by the program, where a person without the right to marry establishes that marriage contracts are not marriages within the meaning of the law. This means that the other "wife" has no rights at all. The contract is just a piece of paper.

Polygamy is also prohibited in some Muslim-dominated countries such as Turkey and Tunisia.

The person who has the right to marry is obliged to know the Swedish rules and must check the certificates of obstacle examination for the couple they are going to marry. Whoever misbehaves can lose his right to marry. The Chamber of Deputies is responsible for who has the right to marry.
