He’s the owner and founder of Britain’s first ever polygamy matrimony website and already has well over 100,000 members signed up to it since launching in June.
Thirty-four-year-old Azad Chaiwala, from Sunderland, is currently in the process of setting up a matrimony harmony website – his third after the success SecondWife.com and Polygamy.com.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk on the need for such a website, the young entrepreneur said: “We’re quite hypocritical in our society in the sense that we allow mistresses, we visit prostitutes, watch pornography and visit strip clubs. As long as a man is not bringing it home it’s fine. They just have their mistresses and keep them there rather than turning them into wives. So I’m giving them the option to do the honourable thing and have multiple families. To practise it in an open upfront honourable way rather than going to nightclubs and visiting women. By me doing this I’m actually keeping families together.”
The Metro report says after struggling to find a second wife, following his marriage, Azad decided to set up a digital service to help him and others on their quest. That’s when he launched SecondWife.com in 2014. He then launched Polygamy.com in 2016 for non-Muslims wanting polygamous marriages.
In the UK, polygamy is illegal under Section 57 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, but it is permitted in some interpretations of Islam. If you’re a man, you can have four wives at a time.
Azad hopes his current websites and his new one will continue to change the way people perceive polygamy.
