Israel to crack down on Bedouin polygamy
Israel has begun cracking down on polygamy among the country’s Bedouins, after decades of turning a blind eye to the old custom that remains widespread in the community.
For the first time, suspected Bedouin polygamists are being prosecuted.
But many Bedouins, who complain of systematic neglect and discrimination by successive Israeli governments, see only a ploy to curb their population growth and criminalise their community members.
