‘Singapore Street’ to be included in Oman’s smart city, says visiting Sultan

SINGAPORE – Sultan Haitham City, pegged as a smart city in Muscat, Oman, will have a slice of Singapore when the whole project is scheduled for completion around 2045.

Polygamy is not common in Oman, and only one in 20 married men has more than one wife, according to the ministry of religious affairs.

However, in what some people see as a sign of the growing independence of women in the sultanate, there is growing anecdotal evidence that more first wives are rebelling against the custom. Omani men are permitted by law, as they are by Islamic tradition, to marry as many as four women.

Ms al Faisal, sitting in a cafe with her arms folded across her chest and her eyes moistening, said: "When we were struggling in our early years, I supported the family here in Muscat while he went off to UK for seven years to do his master's and then PhD."

She said her husband secured a higher-paying job when he returned to Oman and used the extra money to marry two more women in the next five years. He rented a three-bedroom villa for the second wife, but could not afford a separate home for his third wife.

"We respect Islamic law, but men must think of the hurt they cause to first wife and confusion the children. Often it means that years building up a meaningful marriage goes down the drain. It mean both couples are working, the efforts will be enjoyed by another woman if the man owns everything.
