"The EU is looking for any excuse not to let Turkey in, and polygamy reinforces the stereotype of Turkey as a backward country," said Handan Coskun, director of a women’s center….Two years ago, Prime Minister Tayyip Recep Erdogan tried to attack polygamy by criminalizing adultery, after prominent members of his Justice and Development Party were rumored to have taken second wives. But even though it condemns polygamy, the European Union criticized him for intervening in the nation’s bedrooms, leading him to back down.
This is one example of what I posted about a few weeks ago. Western Europe looks down on Turkey because many Turks are polygamists, but they complain that outlawing adultery would be wrong (even after redefining adultery to include sex with your own wives). That would interfere with the right of “monogamous” men to have sex with the wives of other “monogamous” men, and we can’t have that!
