Except that's what people used to say about pix. And they still don't have normal Torah support yet everyone does it. I don't feel threatened though.

Shadchan pix. So the guy can decide if you're hot enough.


First, no all shadchanim will ask for a pic.
Second, not all shadchanim who do will show the pic.
Third, I don't know any shadchan who will show one pic but not the other.
And fourth, there are guys who don't want, or don't require a pic. Some even refuse to see it, either to not show theirs, or because they think pics can lie.

Yes, maybe a 90 yr old Djerbian or Temani...

Unless you mean the psychopaths trying to revive this and/or the pilegesh. As a shadchan IME "runnnnnnnnn" is the name of the game if they tackle the topic ever in the relationship. And no they don't quite have normal Torah support.


Here in England (yes England!!) I personally know a few Yemenites with more than 1 wife. I also know a few in Israel. So yes it definitely still exists outside of Yemen.

In Israel it's illegal. I assume in England too.

Yes people can cheat. I hope the wife was aware what kind of milieu she was marrying into.

It is illegal to marry more than 1 woman. But, that is only when they have a civil marriage; a man can live with as many women as he wants, he can also marry them in a religious ceremony , as long as he doesn't get married according to the law.
