Answer 1

Hi Luana,

i am not sure, that i understand the question correctly.

He is still married to a german women? or is he divorced.

He can get divorced and marry again, but it is not allowed to have two wives at the same time. The second marriage will not be right.

Do you want to know this?

Answer 2

The Land of Martin Luther only permits multiple wives serially not simultaniously....and Germans are notoriously expert record keepers....

Answer 3

I am German and it is not legal to have two wives in Germany. He would have to divorce his first wife first. But in the UAE it is legal isn´t it? So you could life there.

Answer 4

No of course it's not legal!

What do you think Germany is?!

Answer 5

* If he legally divorced his first wife, it is legal. It is not legal in Germany to have two wives simultaneously (at the same time). So you are not legally considered his wife; and he is considered a criminal.

* If you are a Muslim, you'd better know that you might have been had by a Muslim man who abuses your lack of knowledge in your own religion, leading you to think that what you're doing is fine: http://answers.google.com/answers/thread...

Answer 6

It is illegal in Germany for German citizens to marry more than one wife.

If he married you in the UAE, then he has committed a crime (bigamy) by German law and your marriage is not legally recognized.  If he renounced his citizenship and became a citizen of the UAE and married you under islamic law, then it'd be a different story.

You should contact the authorities in Germany and find out whether he is still legally married. If he is and his wife finds out, she'll probably file for divorce.
