[Baharanzemestan]

Man be onvaneh yek dokhtareh Irani be shoma khanoomeh ba gheyrat eftekhar mikonam...Khoda yaro hamrahetoon....

[mehrnoOshjoOjoO]

did they really got the two babies married???

[HardlineFeminist]

25 Wives & One Husband, normal Mormon behavior in America!!

Makes 4 wives not seem nearly as bad...

[MultiTruths]

Prophet Mohammad said “ALLAH ALLOWED MUSLIM TO MARRIAGE 4 WIFES". IF ALLAH (GOD) allowed that, ALLAH (GOD) would have make 4 EVE and 1 ADAM.

[Pasdaran1]

@MultiTruths shut up he allowed 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 wifes adam got 1 yes look to noa ge got 3 or abrahab he got 2 or salomon he got 100

where is your problem?

[sweethotcandy29]

This guy is a selfish ignorant greedy abusive pig! He only lives for himself and no one else. His wives need to team up and whip is tail.

[BorderCollieMomm]

this guy reminds me of a compulsive hoarder who cant stop. he cant afford or handle the wives and children but wants more.

[2017Downtown]

This gives you insight into the same sheep herders who wrote the bible...the old testament condemns sex with 12 different relatives, but does not condemn sex with your niece or daughter.....Laws for sheep herders, by sheep herders.

[Mahdi777Ahmed]

this ignorant man obviously forgot what Allah said about marrying 4 wives. i feel so sorry for these women, so much felt pain. men, kill yourself before doing this to our islamic sister.

Allah:Quran 4:3: And if you be apprehensive that you will not be able to do justice to the orphans, you may marry two or three or four women whom you choose. But if you apprehend that you might not be able to do justice to them, then marry only one wife, or marry those who have fallen in your possession.

[moomoochacoo]

i dont understand how he doesn't see that having multiple wives is an issue. I know the quaran allows it but he obviously is going through stress financially. Is he that much of a tool and clueless? Is pussy really that powerful?

[chaanmaii]

the grandma was hilarious, really witty and entertaining.

[randyreal574]

One ugly wife is enough.

[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan I can't wait till the UK becomes sick of you musloid trash as well and decides to stop recognizing polygamous marriages conducted abroad. People are already clamoring to repeal the law.

Once the polygamy rate in Malaysia falls even lower than it already is, and they realize that it's a complete waste of money and resources to provide government benefits to these illiterate, lazy, irresponsible polygamous idiots running around breeding like rats, they'll do the same.

[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan Your underlying point in this argument was an attempt to show that polygamy is compatible with modern civilization, when it clearly isn't. This is because it's a part of Islam and you don't want to accept that your religion promotes practices that drag society down.

Polygamy is a rarity in Malaysia, and is only common in 3rd world crap holes.

[marwouan]

@ColdVolcano22

No the only thing I wanted to say is that you were wrong, Malaysia is one exemple with the UK and Australia that polygamy can be legal in a modern women respectfull country.

Who care if it's a rarity? You said it s not legal, you did not say it's a rarity!

[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan For the last time, the UK and Australia DO NOT allow polygamy. Polygamous marriage is illegal in the UK and Australia and is not recognized. If you think the minority of ignorant, sexist, backward Malaysian men with four wives respect women think again.

[marwouan]

@ColdVolcano22

It is recognised for foreigners so it's LEGAL in specific cases.

You call this minority ignorant, it's your JUDGEMENT, dont be so stubborn and arrogant.

Hopefully you find guidance and I'm happy you admitted you lost this little debate we had about your false statement.

[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan In the UK it is only recognized if conducted abroad and only for welfare benefits, nothing else. In Australia it is not recognized in any way whatsoever, foreign or domestic.

They are an ignorant minority. They're uneducated, lazy, sexist, poor, and violent. I haven't lost the debate dumbass, my overall argument still stands, i just conceded one point that there is ONE developed country (lol that's all you've got) that legally allows polygamous marriages to be conducted.

[frisky2dingo]

@ColdVolcano22 not entirely the tribal aborigines still practice polygamy in some of the more isolated areas of australia, at least the older generations.. although the australian government donst support it and previously the missionaries would buy the extra brides and give them to young women-less men to avoid fights. the government hasnt done anything to remove it, although in the last 30 years it seems to be removing its self ..

[ColdVolcano22]

@frisky2dingo Ok, but tribal aboriginees can hardly be considered modernized, industrialized, educated people. We weren't discussing fringe elements but rather entire civilized nations as a whole. My argument was that no civilized, free, prosperous nation condones polygamy because it is a backward practice.

The idiots i was arguing with cited Malaysia -the only modernized country in the world that still (grudgingly) allows it- and used that as a crutch to lean on.

[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan For the record, your last comment was completely and utterly unrelated to the discussion at hand. Go find solace in your magical sky daddy.

[marwouan]

@ColdVolcano22

If murderers are allowed to murder in a country if they are foreigners then you cant say that this country ban murdering.

But you're too stupid to understand the comparaison.

Once again Malaisia respect women and is a devlopped country and allows polygamy.

So you lost this debate.

Bye

[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan I have no idea what you're trying to say, you're not making any sense whatsoever. The vast majority of Malaysians do not approve of polygamy, it is only technically still legal, but socially looked down upon by most Malaysians, especially the more educated and wealthy ones.

[marwouan]

@ColdVolcano22

Of course I make sense, and you said that polygamy was illegal in all countries where women are respected and the economy devlopped.

You did not say:

Polygamy is illegal oror not approved by the majority in all countries where ...

You were wrong, it's incredible you cant admitt it.

You're totally stubborn.

I wish you guidance my friend

[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan Your ability to ignore the main argument at hand is astounding. My MAIN point was that polygamy is the result of low education, low respect for women, poverty, and oppression. I then said it is entirely exclusive to 3rd world countries as a supporting point. Taken literally, i was wrong, because Malaysia is the ONLY exception in the world, but that is of little relevance to the argument as a whole, and most Malaysians are against it anyway because only the low class do it.

[marwouan]

@ColdVolcano22

That's all I wanted to hear, you were wrong, END OF DEBATE.

[Doesumama]

Heda is a wreckless loser.

[ColdVolcano22]

@PuorqouiPasMoi The fact that ONE industrialized nation on the planet still technically recognizes polygamy (yet still doesn't socially approve of it) is all you can cling to. It's a desperate attempt really. As Malaysia continues to advance I bet polygamy will continue to decline, and eventually become abolished, and then you won't even be able to cling to that as a pathetic excuse.

[PuorqouiPasMoi]

@ColdVolcano22

You also have the UK and Australia.

You're so full of agressivity, you should do yoga and deal with your lost debate ok?

Im actually Muslim but Im a convert so my parents and grand parents are french and born in France, I really dont know what you're talking about with you dar el islam lol I dont speak Arabic.

[ColdVolcano22]

@PuorqouiPasMoi UK and Australia don't allow polygamy moron, i already went over that. No wonder you're a convert, you're an idiot.

[marwouan]

@ColdVolcano22

What would you say about a country that allow murders but only for people who were murdering people in their own country?

Would you say that this country is not allowing murders?

You're the idiot, but as you dont really know I forgive you, may you find guidance my friend.

[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan Yeah, actually i would, because they usually end up executing innocent people too. Guess what genius, the death penalty doesn't serve as a deterrent and never has.

[mrtabaaaa]

I was born in Iran and I've grew up there. I haven't seen like this.

Were did you find this case? :)))))))))))))))))

Iran is so huge, witch part of Iran?

[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan Come now, Malaysia is the only example you could think of, and even there polygamy is in decline. Most youths disapprove of the practice and women are against it, even though it hasn't been outlawed. Take a look at an article called The Impact of Polygamy In Malaysia.

The trends are common around the world. An increase in economic, educational, technological, and social advances results in a decline of polygamy.

[ColdVolcano22]

Polygamy only exists (legally) in impoverished pre-industrialized nations that devalue women.

[marwouan]

@ColdVolcano22

Like in the US? In israel?

[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan Polygamy is illegal in US and Israel.

[marwouan]

@ColdVolcano22

It's largely tolerated.

[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan No, it isn't. Polygamy is a legal arrangement. One man sleeping with lots of women or vice versa is just promiscuity, but it is not recognized under the law as marriage.

[marwouan]

@ColdVolcano22

Ok watch this and come back :

/watch?v=zPM2hojMuFg

[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan Like i said, it's not legally recognized as a marriage. They can do it, but the state does not recognize it as marriage and they don't receive any government benefits or compensations for it the way married people do.

[marwouan]

@ColdVolcano22

Who cares? The state tolerate them and accept them.

[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan And that's fine. I don't care what consenting adults do behind closed doors. I just don't think it should be given legal recognition because that would result in a lot of complications. Every country that legally recognizes and socially encourages and accepts polygamy is poor and undervalues women. In America, those people are viewed as a freakshow.

[marwouan]

@ColdVolcano22

You start you messag by saying that you dont about adults do behind close doors and you finish by saying that they are freaks, how tolerant..

And by the way, polygamous mariage are recognised officialy in Australia and in the U.K. these two countries are really poor of course.

[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan By don't care i mean it's not a big deal to me, i still think they're weird though.

No they aren't. Polygamy is illegal in both Australia and the UK. Muslims tried to push for it in Australia and failed. In the UK polygamous marriages conducted abroad only afford some welfare benefits, but even that is being curtailed.

[marwouan]

@ColdVolcano22

In Australia and in the UK polygamous marriage conducted abroad are recognised so it's legal under conditions. BUT IT S LEGAL.

And in rich and modern Malaysa too, it's Legal.



[ColdVolcano22]

@marwouan We are not talking about a VERY limited tolerance for polygamous marriages conducted abroad. It's not like the UK will just forcefully separate those couples. We are talking about whether it is legal for people to conduct polygamous marriages in Australia and the UK and it is not.

Malaysia is just about the ONLY modernized country that allows it, but it is in heavy decline and people are socially against it.

[PuorqouiPasMoi]

@ColdVolcano22

Ok so you were wrong because in the beginning that NO rich country in the world allows polygamy.

And you were totally wrong as there is one or more exemple.

Just recognize that you were wrong and deal with it, I hate people like you.

[ColdVolcano22]

@PuorqouiPasMoi LMFAO! Wow! So you he managed to find the only ONE modernized country in the world that still GRUDGINGLY permits polygamy! Big whoop! It makes no difference. Education, women's rights, technological advancements, and freedom all result in lower rates of polygamy because polygamy screws things up.

I hate religious retards like you more than you hate me.

[PuorqouiPasMoi]

@ColdVolcano22

Lol please be careful, Iam no the one you were debating with.

He found this country, I guess that WE hate anti religous zeolots like you.

[ColdVolcano22]

@PuorqouiPasMoi You don't butt into other people's arguments, insult them, and then tell them to be careful because you weren't the one they were debating with. Get a clue dumbass.

Don't get me started on zealots, when it comes to zealots you religious nutjobs take the cake.

[PuorqouiPasMoi]

@ColdVolcano22

If you dont want people to get into your youtube "arguments" send PM's..

[ColdVolcano22]

@PuorqouiPasMoi You idiot i don't care if you get involved or not. Just don't do so and then turn around say "oh, but you're not debating me". Stupid musloid, you people are braindead, no wonder your countries are shit holes.

[PuorqouiPasMoi]

@ColdVolcano22

You're so agresssive, i wish you to find peace and serenity.

I'm French and I live in Paris, I dont know what you're talking about when you say France is a shit hole... I know we lost our AAA rating but you're going too far lol.

You lost a debate, deal with it, it will make you stronger my friend.

[ColdVolcano22]

@PuorqouiPasMoi If you're Muslim living in France, France isn't your country. From an Islamic point of view a Muslim can only be loyal to Dar Al Islam, not non-Muslim nations.

I didn't lose anything, my point stands. Polygamy is the result of poverty, a lack of education, a lack of rights, and a lack of respect for women. Malaysia has increasingly cut back on polygamy in recent decades and only technically still allows it. The vast majority of Malaysians are socially against it.

[marwouan]

@ColdVolcano22

Malysia is also another exemple of a rich country where women are not more devaluated than in the west (where a woman cost 50 euros for a night, talking about devalution it was like 80 euros 5 years ago).

[LAKOPUNJABI]

Such a touching documentary. I watched all of it, I feel it for each wife of Heda's. It was great to go back again after 2 years. Heda brought home a new wife. I want to see what happens next to them and I also want to see the kids say on the large family. If the Grandma has more sons, they have the same amount of wives from seeing one of the daughter-in-laws came to visit of the other son, How many Grandkids does she have? I noticed they didn't show much of the 2nd Wife Goli, esp. after 2 years

[vx3proteus]

there is sucha thing as good polygamy. im quite sure.



[ColdVolcano22]

@vx3proteus Nope, doesn't exist. Pretty much every nation that allows polygamy is poor.

[musood6630]

Wow. I'm a secular person but I have to say this is just pure propaganda. In reality it says:

""....marry such women as seem good to you, two and three and four; but if you fear that you will not do justice (between them), then (marry) only one..."

Qur'an

[kmalam29bd]

"If you are going to pay Orphans Less of a Mahr, or are just marrying them to get their property/wealth (or preventing them from marrying), then marry other women, 2 or 3 or 4, but if you cannot afford them (mahr, or support) then marry only one or a captive that your right hand possesses (as the Mahr is half that of a free woman or even nothing). This is better for you, than being financially unjust with your women."

[kmalam29bd]

Qur'an is the only holy book in the face of the earth that clearly declared "..marry only one.."

One important thing to note is that Qur'an was revealed in Arabic and direct translation to English is impossible. And any verse of the holy book is explained with the narration of the Prophet and his apostoles. Based on that point, the following translation

of verse Qur'an 4:3 is more acceptable.

[kmalam29bd]

Please do not misguide people with media propaganda. And do not pick a part of the verse.

Here is the complete literal meaning of the verse [Qur'an 4:3].

"And if you fear that you cannot act equitably towards orphans, then marry such women as seem good to you, two and three and four; but if you fear that you will not do justice (between them), then (marry) only one or what your right hands possess; this is more proper, that you may not deviate from the right course."

[IRANisPERSIA1]

isnt there a show in the u.s. about a guy with four wives? o and how about utah?

[Afghanistang]

My heart is in pain, while watching this, so sad. 

[JosefEckhart]

Whoa I thought this was about Muslims..... And that's not the holy Koran they paraphrased...... This is definitely a waste of time..... Don't be misguided!!!!

[misscamara12]

I would have liked to hear what the children had to say as well.

[misscamara12]

The 3rd wife can do more house work b/c she doesn't have children to take care of like the rest. If she had children, she would be more busy as well. The 3rd wife was really jealous about the 4th wife, but didn't she do the same to the 1st and 2nd. It's good she knows how they feel. It's sad the 1st wife claims she barely speaks to him any more. It's just children between them now and no love. If these women were financially independent, I don't think they would have stayed in this marriage.

[misscamara12]

@ 10:43 When she says, "A new wife takes your husband away and everything you own." So very true. You do lose power and she basically takes over.

[misscamara12]

At 9:08, ww she blames the first wife for not be a real woman allowing her husband to take another wife. A lot of susbequent wives have this superior attitude towards the 1st wife like "I got your man." This is why women hate polygamy. The 1st was also made to get the 2nd wife on her her wedding night? Any man who would make his 1st wife go through that pain obviously doesn't love her any more. I think it is poverty and financial dependence on men that make women accept this crap.

[misscamara12]

How could any woman be happy in this marriage, unless you are the favored wife of course. I feel sorry for the women who have to live in this pain. I think men just stay married to some of the wives out of pity and b/c they have children between them, because he can only really love one.

[misscamara12]

I love the honesty of the husband's mother.

[nevs822]

The Grandma is a BOSS! haha she's funny.

[omgodsword]

34:23

Whoah whoah whoah....I'm confused? Who's "Imam Zedah"?? Why is she praying to "Imam Zedah"....? Shouldn't she be praying to Allah?

SOMEONE EXPLAIN - PLEASE???

[hclsrivatsa]

@omgodsword this lady belong to shia sect of islam and there are 12 imams whom they pray next to allah... i am not a muslim but i think so...

[chibi171]

LOL when the guy is arguing with his other wife at 45:00 they are all like stupid cow! Shit on you! and the grandmother is fucking funny as hell too!

[NBAHomiez71]

shit like this only happens in villages.

[TheFaridabegum]

This is very true of a polygamy marriage,even my husband has brought his sec wife after our twelve years of good life.

[thebooks76]

@TheFaridabegum Come to the U.S.

[Butterflyonocean]

Well the name of the movie should have been a PIG and FIVE wives; at the end he got another wife.

[persiaz]

can some one tell me what part of iran are this people from???

[UmmFarroll]

THEY ARE NOT MUSLIM. PRAYING TO IMAM ZEDAH. WOW. ASTAKFIRULLAH. SHIRK SHIRK SHIRK

[UmmFarroll]

THEY ARE NOT MUSLIM. PRAYING TO IMAM ZEDAH. WOW. WHO THE HECK IS IMAM ZEDAH. ASTAKFIRULLAH.

[ebllis]

haha the grandmother is amazing !!

[thebooks76]

I was left breathless at the end of the video. I will thank God from now on that I was born in the U.S.

[SerbiansareTrash]

@thebooks76 Fuck off.

I'm not even Iranian and even I know this shit is utter propaganda. If you want a real documentary on Iran, go watch "Rick Steves Iran".

[thebooks76]

@SerbiansareTrash What? You didn't make sense. Mmmm, I'm just giving my opinion buddy. I don't know you personally and I care less what ethnic group you are.

[dornador]

دو زن هرگز با یکدیگر دوستی و محبت نمی ورزند مگر به خاطر توطئه بر علیه زن سوم . . .!

(آلفونس کار)

This is an excellent documentary

[GIGIBABY1977]

it is so sad they want their daugther to be educated but i don't think that pig of man et the daugthers be educated

[GIGIBABY1977]

this so sad how these women fight over this worthless man

[SithSereyPheap1]

What do you rather have ? more sheeps or more wives ? ;))))))))))

[SithSereyPheap1]

The Iranian guy may have had more than one wives,but i think American guy slept with more women then Iranian guy.American guy slept with up to 5,000 women in a lifetime.Call it dating,marriage,one night stand,manage a trois,what ever.The bottom line is you're fucking.The Iran guy slept with four wives,but at least he remember and knew who he fucked in his lifetime,but not the same with American guy.The American guy can't even kept track of who and how many women they fucked...

[thebooks76]

@SithSereyPheap1 You're absolutely right BUT, the American's women that he slept with have freedom to get away from him or not! These Iranian women don't have that luxury!

[cymbeli]

@SithSereyPheap1 You are right.

[SoCalSand]

@SithSereyPheap1 That is definitely not true about all U.S. men. It is a personal choice whether they do it or not. At least the women have the exact same choice and aren't oppressed like they are in a lot of parts of the world.

[theoldschoolfool1]

i felt kinda sad for the 3rd wife, because she works so hard, and seems DESPRATE for a baby poor girl

[clementeen]

Lol, the grandma has got it right! And noone should be your master but God, but these poor women are obviously relying on marrying their way out of hunger and homelessness, dont forget they are uneducated. The man is just abusing religion, and noone can stop him because all the clergy are men lol, what a sad world. The Prophet of Islam, Mohamad(sawaws) wouldn't approve of this, why should we? Human rights SHOULDN'T exclude women!!!

[abbasgadhia]

...but if you fear that you will not do justice (between them), then (marry) only one or what your right hands possess; this is more proper, that you may not deviate from the right course. Quran 4:3

[abbasgadhia]

ha! the documentary starts off with a quranic injunction that doesnt exist. there goes the credibility of this documentary.........

[ElLeonidas2009]

at 13:30 those are a lot of tortillas lol

[ALANLEEY]

lol all my son is thinking aboout is pussy lmao lol good grand ma

[cash4medaily]

man i want 4 wives.

[zohrabi64]

goood god sick ppl, this is a crime

[pigsaresmart]

Disgusting violent man, too bad he had 20 children. No wonder the world is overpopulated.

[StopPanTurkistLies]

These are poor people but all the Americans who watch this will think the average guy in Tehran marries 4 wives, LOL! Oh well... more propaganda.

[arashy1981]

@StopPanTurkistLies As stated at the beginning of the documentary, Polygamy cases are found in the rural areas of Iran. Lack of knowledge of certain groups doesn't justify the fact that we should close our eyes and state that polygamy is non existent in Iran. The main purpose of this documentary is to educate our society and people about women's right issues in Iran. This is not a propaganda; this is an educational tool for our educators and students to get involved and address such issues.

[ElLeonidas2009]

@StopPanTurkistLies So this is all fake?

[StopPanTurkistLies]

@ElLeonidas2009 The point is that these people are low class villagers who aren't representative of the average man in the cities, making documentaries like this just promotes hatred against Iranians as I'm sure you already have since you're American.

[ElLeonidas2009]

@StopPanTurkistLies ¨low class¨ wow, this is a reality I believe, even if some try to cover it, Iran is a islamic regime full of abuse and women depravation all this because they obey the lies of the quran or are you gonna deny it too, and I dont hate them but if they are against America and Israel I just dont like that, neither the way they treat their woman.

[StopPanTurkistLies]

@ElLeonidas2009 You are generalizing a people based off low class villagers.

Your idea of Iranians is so biased now, I understand. There's no changing your opinion, unless of course you read history and actually gained an Iranian friend and learned about Iranian culture. arashy1981, look at what you're doing, spreading hate?

[ElLeonidas2009]

@StopPanTurkistLies i actually watching news, good documentaries like this and getting informed about the HATE the iranian goverment has for Israel and America and our way of living, I dont hate iranians as you accused me of, but I dont like their goverment and fanatics of islam wich is dangerous for me and my country thats all, I actually have a friend from iraq and hes cool and Christian and we get along just perfect.

[StopPanTurkistLies]

@ElLeonidas2009 As long as you understand that Islamic Republic doesn't represent the culture of Iran or Iranians then you already are okay, but if you believe that Islamic culture is Iranian culture then you are brainwashed too much.

[ElLeonidas2009]

@StopPanTurkistLies too bad when iran became islamin republic

[StopPanTurkistLies]

@ElLeonidas2009 Mmm... not for long since 100's of Iranians become Christian, Zoroastrian, or Atheist everyday. Islamic Republic was a blessing because it made Iranians anti-Islamic.

[ElLeonidas2009]

@StopPanTurkistLies nice to hear that!

[StopPanTurkistLies]

@ElLeonidas2009 Do you want video comparing Islamic parades to secular parades in Iran?

[ElLeonidas2009]

@StopPanTurkistLies Would be good watching it.

[StopPanTurkistLies]

@ElLeonidas2009 Check your PM.

[ElLeonidas2009]

@StopPanTurkistLies Ok

[SoCalSand]

@StopPanTurkistLies They mention that in some rural areas SOME people do this. They even show another villager talking to the husband about how he is happy with only one wife. The wives even commented on how they see the other wives in the village who aren't polygamists and they are jealous. This documentary stated a few times that it isn't the norm.

[arashy1981]

@BachehMirdamad, The movie was directed and produced by Nahid Persson. She also made the award winning documentary of Prostitution Behind the Veil. I will upload this documentary within couple of days.

[BachehMirdamad]

@ arashy1981, This is an excellent documentary. It really affected me, the way these beautiful intelligent women are at the mercy of that pig of a husband, and all because of poverty and lack of opportunity.

I wondered who made the documentary?

[OhMaDayzz]

"Dye your pubic hair too" .. lol the grandma is funny..
