re meeting his friends

Farrah be careful. This happened to me - he never let me meet his friends saying that this is not done in the middle east. A load of bull. Maybe he has the other wife already planned and doesn't want people to know about any scam he's pulling with you as the victim. They might talk. This is a huge red flag.

Re imam marriage - your instincts are correct. I was - and still am - the first wife from a legal civil marriage. I heard from people that an imam marriage was planned for the second woman - while we are still married !!! Imams are supposed to check marriage records but they don't always since they don't view the civil marriage as worth anything, especially if you're an infidel.

Run, Farrah.
