In a Roman Catholic nation like Italy, polygamy seems to have risen in years. But I don't think it is just polygamy that is multiplying globally but also adultery. Soon we will be seeing a world where broken families abound.

Thousands of polygamous marriages like Hadi's have sprung up throughout Italy as a byproduct of a fast-paced and voluminous immigration by Muslims to this Roman Catholic country.

Despite the obvious culture clash, Italian authorities largely turn a blind eye, leaving women in a murky semi-clandestine world with few rights and no recourse when things go especially badly, as they did in Hadi's case.
