Regarding the polygamy issue; if men are abusing this, then all that shows is that we need Sharia courts to protect the women.
Regarding mahr; as far as I'm aware, while it is the right of women to ask for any amount of mahr they want, it's sometimes the family's of these women demanding the extravagant amounts. Maybe the money doesn't even end up with the girl. Is that how it works down there?
