EGYPTIAN DIVORCE
PROPOSED TIGHTENING OF LAWS. PROHIBITION OF POLYGAMY RECOMMENDED. ' CAIRO, Jan. 18. Egyptian Moslems will be no longer able to divorce their wives in a fit of temper by simply repeating: “I divorce thee” thrice before two witnesses if the Government adopts the recommendations of the special commission investigating marriage legislation. The commission recommends the drastic tightening of the marriage and divorce laws, including the prohibition of polygamy, except where the husband has established his ability to provide for his additional wife without prejudicing the position or the earlier spouse or spouses.—Sun.
