It was claimed by human rights groups that it was degrading toward women,
but that's how it works in the Muslim faith.
If they want to be treated like everyone else, then they should abide by
North American laws, be it for marriage or what not. That means men and
women are equal (theoretically and legally speaking of course). They
should not be entitled to specific laws just for their faith. If they
want their own laws, they should go back to their homeland.
