To be fair, this has been condemned by the secretary of the Islamic Council of Victoria, as well as the Australian Muslim Women's Centre For Human Rights.

Its a good thing this was condemned, but it really is offensive to know that there are some Muslim men who still believe it is okay to do this to their wives - and expect us to accept it.
These men should be ashamed of themselves.

"It is very important for a wife to fulfil the rights of her husband. Why? Because Allah commanded her to, after marriage Jannah is through her husband, and also the husband is your partner. A partner is someone you share with not someone who does things for you," said the post.
"If a man is saying to his wife I will marry another woman, this is far better than saying you are divorced every time he is upset.
"Now where is the problem. If a man divorces his wife three times he has destroyed his family. They can no longer return to each other. Islam only allows two divorces and returns.
"So if your husband is telling you that he wants to take another wife and you are not doing the right thing by him, then know that he is thinking straight and using a weapon that doesn't have severe consequences."
