Polygynous Muslim Marriages in South Africa: Their Potential Impact on the Incidence of HIV/AIDS
Abstract
The focus and thrust lies with the institution of polygyny in Islam, the South African response to polygyny, the (potential) impact of polygyny on the incidence of AIDS, and the contribution that both an informed approach to HIV and an enlightened approach to the application of Islamic values could or would have on the limitation of the disease's spread.
