Suddenly, the U.S. Religious Right Doesn't Look So Bad

You people only think the whole thing about making the woman marry her father in law is stupid because you don't own any women. If you'd go out and buy a couple (five or six good camels is usually a fair price), you'd grasp these simple socioeconomic principles better.

Or, best of all, become a fundamentalist Mormom and have the government pay YOU for your 5 or 6 wives and progeny. Entire small towns in remote parts of Utah live on government welfare checks supplied to such families. Those folks understand socioeconomics better than any Muslim and they don't have to give their 14 year old brides up to any father in outlaw, either.
