Nigerian Islamic cleric and counselor Bello Muhammed Tahir (BMT) has expressed strong disapproval of the way Muslim first wives view potential second wives as “husband snatchers”.
In a Facebook post on Monday, July 21, the cleric described the notion as “sickening, and unpalatable.”
According to Mr Tahir, a woman being a first wife doesn’t mean that her husband is her property that any other woman can’t be interested in him.

“It is sickening and very unpalatable how Muslim first wives think that a potential second wife is a husband snatcher.
From where did you get this unGodly conception?
How does being the first wife make the man your property that any other woman can’t be interested in him?
Just how? To say that this is coming from Muslims is dissatisfying.
Even Christians don’t think this way anymore.
