Yemeni pseudo-war exile Khaled Al-Anesi sued The Netherlands before the European Court of Human Rights (Case No 7481/23/3), demanding that 5 children be brought back from their marriages to their second and 3rd wives. A case can become a precedent that opens the way to the designation of polygamy in Europe under the pretext of the right to household life
Will the European Court lift the ban on polygamy? Al-Anesi, a lawyer and activist of the Islamist organization al-Islah, received asylum in the Netherlands in 2011 and brought his first wife with 8 children. Knowing about the polygamy ban, he did not request the arrival of the another wives, but wanted to bring children from those relationships that live with mothers in Turkey.
The Netherlands refused to accept the arrival of 2 another Al-Anesi's wives, recognizing that the children had good conditions there, and suggested a divorce with the another women. Al-Anesi considered this to be a violation of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights and “religious discrimination”. Interestingly, initially, knowing polygamy was banned in the Netherlands, the Muslim decided not to apply for the arrival of his second and 3rd wives, but requested approval to arrive the 5 children he had with them.
Nevertheless, the Netherlands rejected this application due to the ban on polygamy, arguing that these children do not gotta come to the Netherlands due to the fact that they already have good surviving conditions in Turkey, where they live as refugees with 2 mothers. The authorities have already asked [Al-Anesi] to choose which 1 of his wives he wants to bring with his children. That's what he did. However, Al-Anesi is presently suing the Netherlands to the European Court of Human Rights (ETPC) for violating the right to respect household life by refusing to accept his 5 another children.
This is the first case where the European Court has agreed to deal with a polygamy case. It seems apparent that Yemeni's intention is to bring his children and then, on their behalf, bring their mothers. If the application for the merger of mothers' families is made by minors of children alternatively than husbands, mothers of asylum cannot be denied on the basis of a polygamy ban. In that case, by human rights, the ban on polygamy would become invalid.
When Al-Anesi fled Yemen, he was accepted by the Netherlands and received financial assistance, and he, his wife and 8 children obtained the privilege of enjoying advanced standards of surviving in Dutch society. Now Al-Anesi is suing Holland — his “beneficiary” — and is questioning 1 of the cultural foundations of this country: the ban on polygamy.
In the name of “the freedom of the individual”, the ECHR may deconstruct and extend the concept of household to cover and defend polygamous families. This can open the door to the fact that, according to the Court, states should recognise different household relationships and accept the fact that there is only 1 way or 1 option available for private or household life.
OUR COMMENTS: If the Court agrees to polygamy, it will be a licence for further invasion of chaotic peoples and their cultures. It is worth noting that after polygamy marriages between cousins will come, due to the fact that it is the natural way of the eurade of the Negro and arabian clans. That's what it looks like in those civilizations.
