Dora is threatened with imprisonment after polygamy ban in Tunisia

Tunisian artist Dora faces problems that can reach prison, due to his marriage to a man who would not be separated from his first wife, which is prohibited by Tunisian law.

Tunisian writer Naziha Ghadbani explained: “Tunisian law criminalizes second marriage and prohibits polygamy, which could subject Dora to one year in prison and a fine.”

She added: “Dora belongs to an ancient family in the Tunisian capital and has been one of the most vocal advocates of women’s rights, in addition to her talent, fame and position which qualifies her to defend the rights of women. women, but her marriage to a married man is inappropriate. “

And she continued: “We in Tunisia consider it inappropriate, because a woman is obliged to reinforce her claims and her achievements, and therefore she returns to the reactionary ideas that she accepts the second, third or tenth wife, as if she was categorizing herself as nudity, and we call what she does is prostitution, so We won’t accept it. “

Artist Dora had earlier confirmed that her husband, businessman, engineer Hani Saad, is a divorced man, to deny his ex-wife and comment on this statement that she is still in his custody and not separated, and his statements sparked a great controversy and an uproar in Tunisia and Egypt.
