Discussing the Problem of Muslim Polygamy in German Private International Law

Germany has had a long history of contact with people of Muslim origin. Today, over three million Muslims reside in its hetero- geneous and multicultural society. Despite being a tolerant society, the distinctive beliefs regarding marriage in the Koran has created conflict between Christian and Muslim civilizations.
Does polygamy conflict with equality between the sexes, public order and local moraland ethical standards? There seems to be no consensus regarding this issue. However, the law is not the guardian angel of morals. Judging from the viewpoint of private international law, there does seem to a way for mutual respect and accommodation.
Maybe this may serve as a reference when Taiwan faces a similar problem.
