At 49, Jubrilla was thought to have an enviable marriage by her married friends – a 2-year
partnership with beautiful Jreuri who bore her three lovely children. They met in college and were almost inseparable. Then he became a father of three, and gradually his appearance at parties with her began to fade. “When Jubrilla started staying out late and at most weekends, I warned my son of its implications”, Mim, Jreuri’s father said. “As a Muslim, Jubrilla could be polyandrous if she desired, but Jreuri seemed to
trust her not to take another husband. Well, she did. Not only that, she had said that since they lived in a sprawling accommodation, the new husband could have one of the chalets. At her age and with her position, Jubrila said she wouldn’t want to be running from one man’s house to the other if his new husband were to live on a different premises. Jreuri was devastated to say the least. He’d invested so much into his marriage, and to be replacedwith a new model in his life as if he was an old car, was too hard for him to take. “I had to counsel him all of the time, to tell him that he too was a product of polygamy, but he believed his wife was throwing away all they’d both worked for, all the investments in emotions and their home for a gold-digger. He was sure his wife would soon regret her decision. When I eventually met Yosol, the new husband, I was a bit taken aback by his simplicity. He was young and fresh-faced all right, but you could hardly call him a gold-digger. He came from a very strict Muslim background. His parents were rich and he turned out to be a successful business man.
