One Wife Enough Says Begum of Pakistan
Begum Liaquat Ali Khan told New York audiences she favors a move to outlaw polygamy in Pakistan while noting Muslim women have long enjoyed Western style equality in other spheres. She said polygamy is allowed only if the man treats all wives justly, a standard she called virtually impossible. She contrasted Western crowds of flings with Pakistani practices and described her husband as having one wife. The Begum spoke at a Foreign Policy Association seminar and Barnard College, calling herself the Dynamo in silk and the Mrs. Roosevelt of the East.
