Because in front of the government, I have another wife. But even this my wife, which I don't want to live here. I want to bring her here with my children. the government prevent me with this culture circumstances and on the other hand I even didn't use my religious right to have another wife again it doesn't matter if I'm with this or not it's not my point of view I'm just raising one from the refugees here who raised this point yesterday I'm very sorry if my speech was emotional or a little bit harsh but it's the fact that that we can't ignore or blind our eyes away.
