How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom or Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki is an isekai fantasy TV anime with harem elements. The series follows Kazuya Souma, a 19-year old aspiring civil servant who mysteriously gets summoned to an alternate world to deal with the Demon Lords Domain threat. With no practical political experience, he suddenly becomes the acting king of the Elfrieden empire and is entrusted with the responsibility to rescue it from a critical political and social crisis. Instead of giving empty promises, Kazuya implements radical policy interventions to improve the standards of living and slowly but steadily starts to revolutionize the Elfrieden empire.

Based on Dojyomarus light novel series of the same name, the anime first premiered on July 4, 2021. Although manga readers criticized it for the disappointing condensation of the source material, the series still managed to garner a decent global fan following. Since season 1 has recently concluded, you may be wondering about the shows season 2 renewal and release dates. In either case, heres everything you need to know.

How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom season 1 premiered on Tokyo MX and BS11 on July 4, 2021. After its thirteen-episode run, the series finally concluded on September 26, 2021. The anime is developed by J.C.Staff with Takashi Watanabe helming the directorial team while Gou Zappa and Hiroshi Oonogi collaborated to write the scripts.

As far as season 2 of the isekai fantasy series is concerned, heres everything we know so far. Neither Studio J.C. Staff nor anyone else involved in the production of the first installment has officially announced the shows renewal as of now. Although the series has been criticized for a few reasons, it still boasts a good overall rating and positive reviews from all parts of the world. Dojyomarus work that serves as the inspiration for anime still has a lot to offer as the anime has only adapted the first four of the fourteen volumes of the ongoing light novel series.

The show is yet to touch upon several crucial storylines, and it has just begun to explore a long and complicated book series. Looking at its reviews and the source material, it seems that the shows renewal is only a matter of time. If the anime production committee renews the series in the near future, then How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom season 2 will probably release sometime in early 2023.

In season 2, the independent kingdom of Amidonia will find itself in a deep crisis when a civil war breaks out. With neighboring nations waiting for the right opportunity to strike, its leaders will seek Elfrieden Kingdoms support to fight back. As the series progresses, the two regions will unite to give birth to the Kingdom of Friedonia. Since polygamy is encouraged, Souma will have more princesses betrothed to him as he is the king as well. The protagonist may also work on a top-secret weapons project to strengthen his countrys defense. Furthermore, the educational programs started by him will radically change ground reality and will turn out to be a definitive step towards a better tomorrow.

How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom Season 2: Release Date and Spoilers - The Cinemaholic

By CHARLES ONYANGO-OBBO

Guineas recent coup leader Col Mamady Doumbouya, who is now setting himself as the countrys strongman, offered a twist to his story.

He appeared in a photograph, wearing a matching white robe with his wives. But his being a polygamist, in this Africa of ours, is neither here nor there. What got the goat of some African patriots who commented on the photograph online, is that both women are white; one is French, the other German.

On one of the websites that carried the photograph, some chap mourned in halting English that an African man who is a polygamist, with both his wives being white and doesnt see any black African woman native to marry too hasproblem and is cursed.

In other words, Doumbouya can marry a white, Asian, or any other woman he wishes, but once he went for a second one, he had an obligation to marry a daughter of the soil.

His opponents could soon argue that if you are a polygamist and you think the country cannot provide you wife material, then you dont deserve to lead it. It would be ironic if Doumbouyas first problem with his people were to come from his choice of wives. He might just have to take a third wife with credible Guinean roots, to deal with this problem.

The Guineans, otherwise, have welcomed this coup with glee. The scenes of them dancing with and taking selfies with the putschist soldiers show people visibly excited about the ouster of Alpha Conde. It seemed to confirm what the opposition and people who took to the streets last year alleging he had stolen the election, were right.

African coups, though, notoriously end in tears and heartbreak. It might not be long before the Guineans are crying again.

In the meantime, the contradictions from the coup continue to fascinate. Doumbouya is 41, thats half the age of Conde, who is 83. We would have expected that it would be Conde, not Doumbouya, who would be more traditionalist and a polygamist.

Hours after the September 5 coup, several photographs of Doumbouya and his comrades emerged. In one of them, there was a witchdoctor. Apparently, when they went to attack the presidential palace, they carried along their own juju man, just in case Conde had his own presidential shaman.

Again, one would have expected that youthful soldiers, more exposed to the world, would be more scientific. Their leader, after all, has been all over the world, with a 15-year military career that has seen him serve in missions in Afghanistan, Ivory Coast, Djibouti, Central African Republic and do other work in Israel, Cyprus, the UK and Guinea.

He was in the French foreign legion, and trained severally before Conde called him back to lead his Praetorian guard, the elite Special Forces Group (GFS) in 2018. After all that, they still needed to sprinkle chicken blood, feathers on the state house fence, and blow ash in the air to ward off possible Conde spells.

Yet, it might not be a contradiction. Observers see Doumbouya and his comrades as representing a strong, not yet fully acknowledged, trend in Africa today; a return to the roots, to the old ways.

Juju, polygamy and coups: In Guinea, its back to the old ways roots - The East African

Monogamy is the practice of forming romantic relationships with only one partner at a time, as opposed to having multiple partners at once. A monogamous relationship is a relationship where two people date and have sex with each other exclusively, and they don't share this type of connection with anyone else outside the couple. There is romantic, sexual, and emotional exclusivity between them.

Today, monogamy is the most mainstream approach to relationships across many societies, though it's by no means universal. Various cultures across the world practice polygamy (marriage between more than two people), and historically the majority of preindustrial societies engaged in polygamy of some sort, typically in the form of polygyny (two or more women sharing a husband). Monogamy is also a rarity among other mammals, with just 3% of mammals engaging in monogamy according to one recent analysis.

"Most of us have learned that monogamy is the 'normal' or even the 'traditional' relationship style and that nonmonogamy is an alternative, when, in fact, nonmonogamous relationships like polyandry, polygyny, [and] polygamy have been around for centuries," Jayda Shuavarnnasri, M.A., a sex and love educator who teaches about nonmonogamy and supports people exploring nonmonogamous relationships, tells mbg.

While there are many theories as to why human societies transitioned from primarily polygamous to primarily monogamous, what we do know is that monogamy as the social norm is a relatively recent development in the scope of human history.

That said, in many societies today, monogamy is often treated as the default way of being in relationships. The common understanding of the way relationships formfrom initial meeting, to becoming exclusive, to confessions of love, to moving in together, to eventually getting married and having kidsare all tied to the concept of monogamy, as are popular conceptions of romantic love such as finding "the one" or meeting "my other half."

The rest is here:

Is Monogamy Right For You? Here's How To Tell + Other Options To Consider - mindbodygreen.com

If you ever feel useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars and four US presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban, posted some wag on Facebook, which I have shamelessly nicked for its neat summation.

It would be funny if it werent so utterly bloody awful; a whole generation of women and girls being forcibly propelled back to the Dark Ages, as countries like the US and UK bicker and capitulate.

In a study that will surprise no one, researchers at a Texas University compiled a list of practices associated with what the Economist tactfully calls pre-modern attitudes to women and links them to violence and instability. No shit.

As Hillary Clinton put it before the US elected an unhinged man rather than allowing someone with a vagina to be in charge The subjugation of women is a threat to the common security of our world.

It should not take actual research from an actual university to join the dots between such pre-modernism sexist family law, lack of education for girls, forced and/or underage marriage for girls, lack of reproductive rights, lack of property rights, lack of inheritance rights, polygamy, dowries, killing female babies in preference for sons, lack of legal consequence for male violence and rape and failed states.

(That the research came from Texas, itself in the grips of its very own legislative Taliban, gun-totin Republicans banging on about foetal heartbeat, is the kind of irony that would make you want to run amok with garden shears).

You dont need to be a sociologist, anthropologist, or any other kind of ologist to work out that skewed sex ratios result in grave social imbalance. That misogynist cultural practices passed off as traditional like marrying your daughters off when still children do nobody any favours, as they perpetuate cycles of ignorance, violence, poverty. Like Malala says, what most frightens extremists is a girl with a book; extremists across the globe prefer instead to keep girls pregnant, cowed, voiceless, isolated.

Yet this myopic misogyny does not serve anyone. Not the men, not the women, not the children of states who continue to exclude and oppress half of their citizenship. During global peace talks between 1992 and 2019, women made up just 6% of signatories and 13% of negotiators. Never mind ideas like culture or tradition what about pragmatism? Peace talks that involve women last longer. Countries, where women are part of the organisational structure, are less violent. These are facts, not opinions.

Listening to the former Afghan Minister for Women, Hasina Safi on BBC radio the other day shed fled for her life as the Taliban abolished her ministry was heartbreaking. Why do we still allow the routine trashing of half of humanity in so many places? How can this still be happening?

And what can we do about it, without involving more bombs? Because if humanity is to ever survive its own death wish, we need women at the table. End of.

The popular Mzansi Magic reality TV show, uThando Nesthembu is back on our screens for a fifth season, and viewers cannot get enough of the polygamous relationships and dramatic personalities that Musa Mselekus wives have.

uThando Nesthembu is set around the life of successful businessman and polygamist Mseleku, who has taken four different women as his brides.

Each episode shows us how Mseleku and his wives try to navigate life, their different family dynamics, sisterhood and traditions within their isithembu in the modern world.

The first episode of the new season begins with Mseleku seated in front of the cameras and then being joined separately by his four wives who are dressed to impress.

As each wife approaches to join her husband, Mseleku is pleased to see how stunning each of them look, letting them know that they are all beautiful.

The next scene shows the children of the businessman and his four wives seated on a couch. One of Musas sons begins to discuss polygamy and tells his siblings that men who would like to get into polygamous relationships should be sure that they have the money to sustain their relationships.

If you want to be a polygamist then youd better have deep pockets, he says.

He then says that when he is older and gets into a polygamous relationship, he will not have separate homes in which the different wives live in, but will have one big yard where all his wives and children will live.

When I become a polygamist, I wont be like my father who has wives who live separately. I will have a massive yard, says the son.

The episode also shows Mseleku spending some time communicating with his ancestors, and taking one of his wives out on a romantic date to clear her head, and to cheer her up after the passing of her mother.

On the episode, Mseleku revealed not only does he have four wives, but he also has girlfriends outside of his polygamous marriage because he is simply a loveable man.

I am loved. Im a loveable man. I have wives and girlfriends, he says.

Towards the end of the episode, Macele called all the other wives together over dinner to discuss their husbands forthcoming birthday as she feels that they all need to celebrate his big day together as a family.

The dinner goes well and all the other wives agree to celebrating Mselekus birthday together, but there is some backlash from MaYeni who feels that their husband will not be happy about the event they have planned, because he has once made it clear that he does not like to celebrate his birthday.

Viewers were delighted to see their favourite wives back on their screens, and most were disappointed by how short the episode was, wishing that each episode could be an hour long.

AFTER AMERICA and its allies toppled the Taliban in 2001, primary-school enrolment of Afghan girls rose from 0% to above 80%. Infant mortality fell by half. Forced marriage was made illegal. Many of those schools were ropy, and many families ignored the law. But no one seriously doubts that Afghan women and girls have made great gains in the past 20 years, or that those gains are now in jeopardy.

The United States is committed to advancing gender equality through its foreign policy, according to the State Department. Bequeathing billions of dollars-worth of arms and a medium-size country to a group of violent misogynists is an odd way to show it. Of course, foreign policy involves difficult trade-offs. But there is growing evidence that Hillary Clinton was on to something when she said, a decade ago, that The subjugation of women isa threat to the common security of our world. Societies that oppress women are far more likely to be violent and unstable.

There are several possible reasons for this. In many places girls are selectively aborted or fatally neglected. This has led to skewed sex ratios, which mean millions of young men are doomed to remain single. Frustrated young men are more likely to commit violent crimes or join rebel groups. Recruiters for Boko Haram and Islamic State know this, and promise them wives as the spoils of war. Polygamy also creates a surplus of single young men. Multiple wives for men at the top means brooding bachelorhood for those at the bottom.

All conflicts have complex causes. But it may be no coincidence that Kashmir has one of the most unbalanced sex ratios in India, or that all of the 20 most turbulent countries on the Fragile States index compiled by the Fund for Peace in Washington practise polygamy. In Guinea, where a coup took place on September 5th, 42% of married women aged 15-49 are in polygamous unions. Chinas police state keeps a lid on its many surplus men, but its neighbours sometimes wonder whether their aggression may some day seek an outlet.

Outside rich democracies, the male kinship group is still the basic unit of many societies. Such groups emerged largely for self-defence: male cousins would unite to repel outsiders. Today, they mostly cause trouble. Tit-for-tat clan feuds spatter blood across the Middle East and the Sahel. Tribes compete to control the state, often violently, so they can divvy up jobs and loot among their kin. Those states become corrupt and dysfunctional, alienating citizens and boosting support for jihadists who promise to govern more justly.

Societies based on male bonding tend to subjugate women. Fathers choose whom their daughters will marry. Often there is a bride pricethe grooms family pay what are sometimes hefty sums to the brides family. This gives fathers an incentive to make their daughters marry early. It is not a small problem. Dowries or bride prices are common in half the worlds countries. A fifth of the worlds young women were married before the age of 18; a twentieth before 15. Child brides are more likely to drop out of school, less able to stand up to abusive husbands and less likely to raise healthy, well-educated children.

Researchers at Texas A&M and Brigham Young universities compiled a global index of pre-modern attitudes to women, including sexist family laws, unequal property rights, early marriage for girls, patrilocal marriage, polygamy, bride prices, son preference, violence against women and legal indulgence of it (for example, can a rapist escape punishment by marrying his victim?). It turned out to be highly correlated with violent instability in a country.

Various lessons can be drawn from this. In addition to their usual analytical tools, policymakers should study geopolitics through the prism of sex. That index of sexist customs, had it existed 20 years ago, would have warned them how hard nation-building would be in Afghanistan and Iraq. Today, it suggests that stability cannot be taken for granted in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan or even India.

Peace talks should include women. Between 1992 and 2019, only 13% of negotiators and 6% of signatories of peace deals were female. Yet peace tends to last longer when women are at the table. This may be because they are more ready to compromise; or perhaps because a room without women implies a stitch-up between the men with guns without input from non-combatants. Liberia got this right and ended a ghastly civil war; Afghanistans new rulers have not.

More broadly, governments should mean it when they say they want to liberate half of humanity. Educate girls, many of whom have quit school to work or marry since covid-19 impoverished their families. Enforce bans on child marriage and on female genital mutilation, hard though that is in remote villages. Do not recognise polygamy. Equalise inheritance rights. Teach boys not to hit women. Introduce public pensions, which undermine the tradition whereby couples are expected to live with the mans parents, because the elderly have no other means of support.

Most of these are tasks for national governments, but outsiders have some influence. Since Western donors started harping on about girls education, more girls have gone to school (primary enrolment has risen from 64% in 1970 to nearly 90% today). Campaigners against early marriage have prompted more than 50 countries to raise the minimum age since 2000. Boys need to learn about non-violence from local mentors, but ideas about how to design such programmes are shared through a global network of charities and think-tanks. Donors such as USAID and the World Bank have done a fair job of promoting property rights for women, even if their Afghan efforts are about to go up in smoke.

Foreign policy should not be naive. Countries have vital interests, and need to deter foes. Geopolitics should not be viewed solely through a feminist lens, any more than it should be viewed solely in terms of economics or nuclear non-proliferation. But policymakers who fail to consider the interests of half the population cannot hope to understand the world.

THE TALIBAN plan to rule Afghanistan in accordance with sharia. During its previous stint in power, the militant group was known for its strict interpretation of Islamic jurisprudence, banning music and forcing women to wear a full burqa in public. But many countries besides Afghanistanamong them Saudi Arabia, Iran and parts of Indonesia and Nigeriaalso use sharia without such strictures. So what is sharia, and how is it applied?

The Economist Today

A daily email with the best of our journalism

Sharia means path in Arabic, indicating the conduct that pleases God. It covers criminal, commercial and family law but is much more holistic than secular legal systems: it also sets out the ethical rules that Muslims should aim to live and worship by. (A similar code governing both legal and ethical matters, halakha, exists in Judaism.) Sharia is based on the Koran, Islams holy book; the hadith, or sayings of the prophet Mohammed; and the subsequent work of Islamic legal scholars. There are some very harsh punishments for crimes deemed against God (known as hudud), including death by stoning or 100 lashes for adulterers. But the standard of proof for conviction is extremely high, making these punishments rare. In the case of adultery, four witnesses must testify. Retribution for serious crimes against people, such as murder, can also be severe, based on the principle of qisas, or an eye for an eye. But Islam encourages victims to be merciful and pay diya, blood money, instead.

Sharia governs family law by defining the age of maturity and rules of marriage. Traditionally men are allowed up to four wives, though polygamy is rare in many Muslim countries today. In some, such as Tunisia, it has been banned. Adultery, sex before marriage, prostitution and sex between men are among acts termed zina, or unlawful. A religious marriage, or nikah, can often be dissolved unilaterally by the husband. Under most schools of sharia women can also instigate divorce but must petition a court to do so. Perhaps the least familiar branch of sharia for Westerners is Islamic commercial law, which is built on the principles of fairness and certainty between contracted parties. Money lending is banned, as is insurance (though some funds based on shared risks are allowed), contracts that yield unclear returns, or any business that involves gambling, pork or alcohol (all of which are considered sinful). Islamic banks traditionally pay no interest, instead investing deposits and returning a cut of the profits (which amounts to much the same thing). In some Gulf states these rules have been relaxed, and investments and mortgages are governed by special contracts that limit risk. Banks often have a sharia board to ensure they comply.

Although parts of Sharia are set out in the Koran, most of the system, like other legal frameworks, is flexible. Some countries make a show of imposing Islamic law strictly: in Kano state in Nigeria, Islamic police have banned shop mannequins with heads in case their lifelike forms provoke inappropriate thoughts. In other countries, such as Malaysia, the influence of sharia is more subtle. The harshest regimes, such as those imposed by Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, Al Shabab in Somalia and Afghanistans previous Taliban government, often stretch sharias dictates to their limits. The new Taliban government has promised moderation. Whether or not it means it will come down to its interpretation of sharia. Once the Taliban used it to justify banning photography. Now its fighters take selfies and post them online.

What is sharia? - The Economist

Musa Mseleku is at the centre of attention again, not just because of his polygamous lifestyle shown on uThando Nesthembu but his other show Mnakwethu.

Mnakwethu, on its second season, follows the quest of married men with intentions to take a second wife. The married men ask Mseleku for help to find the courage to introduce polygamy to theircurrent wife.

Usually, on the show, the wives are unaware their husbands are seeing other women. They find out when confronted by Mseleku and the husband, and the scenes are often uncomfortable to watch.

In some episodes, some wives agree to a polygamous marriage but there are others who dont. In Wednesdays episode, viewers were taken aback by the age of Ncengwas, 28, girlfriend. Thabisile is 19 years old, and his wife is just a year older.

Viewers thought the young women on Mnakwethu should be more concerned about other things than marriage at their age.

Another controversial show that puts Mseleku in the spotlight is uThando Nesthembu which returns for a fifth season this month.

Mseleku joked on social media that his fifth wife cant be a feminist but she can either be a doctor or independent.

In season four, the Mseleku wives MaCele, MaYeni, MaKhumalo and MaNgwabe were at an impasse over his request to get a fifth wife. Mseleku was more concerned over the dysfunctional sisterhood between his wives.

A lot of polygamous mens motivation is the desire to expand their family sizes. Mseleku has repeatedly shared on his reality show that he wants over 10 children, which he currently has.

However, traditionally the man needs the approval of his first wife in order to take addtional wives. The decision is also sometimes based on family history and requests from the elders.

However a Twitter user, @NdumiSKhumalo wasnt buying this.

I wanted to spend this recap overjoyed that we finally got to catch up with Kenny and Armando, but I cant even focus on their chaotic wedding planning. Testing Trust is Aris villain-origin story, and it sets up the stakes for an incredible season. As Biniyams sisters said, Ari bringing her ex-husband of ten years to Ethiopia is white people shit. When we get the backstory of Ari and Leandro, its even worse: No culture on earth would be okay with what Ari is doing here.

Ari cant stop beaming and acting all giddy at the thought of going to pick Leandro up from the airport! Then we find out that they never really even broke up; they drifted apart and always thought theyd get back together until Bini got Ari pregnant. The timeline is questionable and makes the entire visit uncomfortable. It also doesnt help that Ari is wearing dresses, getting her nails done, and not wearing her ring. She absolutely still loves her ex-husband. Its obvious Ari has never really been into Biniyam but has just done her best to make it work for their kid. She doesnt take his job, passions, or religion seriously.

Biniyam is terrified that Ari will run away with his kid like his first wife did, and I think he has every reason to worry. Aris remarks that Leandro couldve had a kid like Avi is weird. Leandro seems too eager to play stepdaddy. Biniyam doesnt deserve to go through any of this!

Ari is absolutely the most aggravating person to watch this season, but Evelin is a close second. Evelin has repeatedly told her family and Corey that she doesnt believe in marriage. Shes constantly reminding Corey their relationship is unstable, and theyve both slept with other people. So, I do not understand her sudden desire to spend $2650,000 on a wedding. Corey was absolutely shocked (and hilarious when he said anyone could throw a great wedding at that price).

Since these two came on the show, its been pretty obvious Evelin uses Corey for money. It hasnt been a plot point recently, but viewers should remember that Corey sent tons of money to Evelin to open their bar, and she used him to buy gifts and clothes for her family. I think this expensive wedding is a scam on her part to get Corey to pay as many of her friends and family to put the wedding together as possible. Corey would be happy with a $5,000 wedding in the woods, which is another example of their differences. Id also bet money is tight for Corey after his father passed away, something Evelin hasnt been particularly sympathetic about so far.

Also, just because I think Evelin is this seasons second-best villain, I researched her claim that the groom pays for everything in Ecuador. According to Culture Shock! Ecuador: A Survival Guide to Customs and Etiquette, this is basically true: The groom pays for the ceremony, rings, and honeymoon, but the brides family is expected to pay for the dinner, flowers, cake, and wedding mementos. It certainly doesnt seem like Corey should expect to pay for every damn thing.

Id bet that Kenny and Armandos wedding will be far more successful. First of all, these two actually love each other. Kennys concerns over the homophobia they might face while planning the wedding are fair, but Armando just seems so excited he cant really see Kennys concerns. Kenny is also clearly super homesick, but its not like Armando has it easy. He had to leave his family, and his father still doesnt even know hes engaged. These two deserve nothing but happiness (Kenny is finally learning Spanish!), but theyve just been handed very difficult circumstances. Armando and Hannah just seem so ready to start their life with Kenny, but its hard to tell if Kenny is still on the same page.

This week we also found out more details about the secret Steven is keeping from Alina. Alina says that Steven asked if he could date other women while theyre together but separated. Of course, I know not all Mormons practice polygamy, but this is TLC, home of the show Sister Wives. Do I think TLC would go out of its way to find a Mormon polygamist who fell in love overseas? Possibly. There could also be more details to the story that Alina left out, or she misunderstood him. Still, Im excited to find out whatever Steven has to reveal if theres more to it than lying about his virginity. Its just why would he be so interested in dating other women if hes waiting until marriage and has already had sex?

Ellie finally told her friends that shes selling everything and moving to be with Victor. They respond appropriately: Shes making a mistake. Victor has cheated on her, and shell have nothing to come back home to if this doesnt work out. She also reveals that Victor has a bit of a violent past with his ex-girlfriend. She really doesnt know enough about him to know how hell react when things get tough living together full-time.

As weve seen with The Other Ways resident couple, Sumit and Jenny, things change when youre actually together in person. Ellie is still in the honeymoon phase, but Jenny is a pretty good look at her future. Sumit has Jenny out here looking absolutely stupid. Jennys visa is still up in the air, and her only option now is to use some religious loophole she doesnt even believe. If Sumit would just marry Jenny like he promised, she wouldnt have to go through all of this. His lawyer already told him theres nothing his parents can do to stop them from getting married, so hes just being a coward and a liar. Weve never seen Jenny get this mad, but shes going along with this new plan, so I guess she isnt totally fed up with him.

Ellie please stop giving that man money and just live your pizza dreams. You are ignoring all the red flags. Also, the passive way of bringing up an issue by saying you had a dream about it?! You arent in high school, be direct!

Stevens two-apartment thing is understandably annoying. They could get one apartment with two rooms. Its not like he cant control himself.

Has anyone had a transformation like Bini? When we first met him, it really seemed like he had to prove himself, and now he is the most sympathetic character in 90 Day history. I really think Ari is bringing her ex-husband around to teach him some kind of lesson. Ari smiling while her ex held her baby was also weird! Also, getting Ari bras was weird; theres no way she cant get a bra ordered online or have her mom send some over. Ari is sitting in BINIS living room crying over her EX-HUSBAND, call the authorities!

Keep up with all the drama of your favorite shows!

Investigation Discoverys Forbidden: Dying for Love: Love and Dishonor takes the audience through the heinous murders of Zainab Shafia, her sisters, Sahar and Geeti Shafia, and Rona Mohammad Amir, who were found in a submerged car in Rideau Canal in Kingston, Ontario. Initially thought of as a terrible accident, evidence soon pointed otherwise, and Zainabs father, Mohammad Shafia, along with his son, Hamed, and wife, Tooba Shafia, came under suspicion. With Mohammad convicted of the crime, if you want to know where Tooba and Hamed are at present, we have you covered.

Mohammad Shafia is originally from Afghanistan, although the family had residences in Australia and even the United Arab Emirates. He initially married Rona Mohammad Amir, but his wife failed to give him children. Thus, unsatisfied with her, he engaged in polygamy and married a second time. His second wife, Tooba Shafia, bore him seven children, including the three victims and their brother, Hamed Shafia.

On June 30, 2009, the police were informed about a submerged vehicle near a Kingston Mills lock in Kingston, Ontario. Upon investigating, they were able to recover the bodies of three teenagers and a 50-year-old woman. They were later identified as Zainab, Sahar, Geeti, and Rona. Meanwhile, the teenagers father, Mohammad Shafia, reported that the four went missing while returning from a trip to Niagara Falls. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary initially, and the police deemed it to be an accident. However, developments soon hinted otherwise.

Through their investigation, they learned that Rona Mohammad Amir was stuck in a loveless marriage and was not treated well by Mohammad and (allegedly) his second wife, Tooba. Mohammad also refused to divorce her. Additionally, the father believed that his daughters had brought dishonor to the family. He was especially enraged by Zainab as she had been spotted with a boyfriend and even fled from home to a womens shelter to escape her fathers wrath.

Officers also realized that both Tooba Shafia and Hamed Shafia were in support of Mohammad. The police finally received a viable clue when Hamed reported that the family SUV had met with an accident on the day of the murder. Once the police examined the damages, they were sure that the SUV was used to ram the smaller vehicle containing the women into the water. Thus, Hamed Shafia, Mohammad Shafia, and Tooba Shafia were arrested and charged with murder.

Once arrested and produced in court, both Tooba and Hamed insisted that they were innocent. Both claimed they had nothing to do with the killings and alleged that the arrest was unjust. However, the jury ultimately found Tooba and Hamed guilty of four counts of first-degree murder. Subsequently, both were sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 25 years.

They did try to get their conviction overturned in 2015, but the petition remained unsuccessful. Tooba has since changed her stand and claimed that she found freedom after being incarcerated. She further told the parole board that she was in control of her life and even filed for divorce from Mohammad. Both Tooba and her son, Hamed, remain incarcerated in Canada as of the present. Although there are no reports about Hameds deportation, Tooba, who will be eligible for parole in 2034, had her permanent residency status removed in 2018 and will be deported once released.
