I think you have to see this as a two way street. In countries the law of that country has to be followed by the people that inhabit it, sometimes people follow the laws reluctantly (myself and many other work permit holders HSMP holders and AV visa's have been subject to a law which we feel is unfair). The law of this country and of many other countries requires that you only be married to one person at any time.

The reason I say this is a two way street is that if say I lived in a country that was subject to Muslim law then I would have to follow that law (maybe sometimes reluctantly) but none the less I would have to follow it.

Please do not feel offended by the law as it is not a personal attack on the Muslim religion (although recently I have seen beloved towards Muslims which is on a par to the beloved in South Africa in the 80's)

any other ways to enter to UK....? for settlement.

I was saying that UK shud revise family law for muslims only in UK. not to change anything else. they can apply this law only to muslims.

In a muslim country NO law would ever be revised for a non-muslim why do you expect the UK to revise laws just for Muslims?

We are all the same no one deserves special treatment.

Separate laws for citizens of different religions is a concept completely abhorrent to the vast majority of British citizens.

Do not get too many wives. Just have one, love her, cherish her and live for her. Do not split her.
If you genuinely love your wife, you will never need a second one, no matter if you are a Muslim or not. A number of Muslims have one wife and are happy.

In general, this country will not adapt the Muslim laws, because the people will not support many of them. If men are allowed to have several wives, the women do not appear to have equal rights with men. Why women cannot have several husbands, then, if I may ask?!

Actually Jeff, I think you'll find that the majority of muslims worldwide only have one spouse

I think you can see from the answers given there is no way. It doesn't fit into the societal views of the British or the law of the land.
