Let say, upon the Muslim dogma, this guy have the right to have multiple partners... but he should marry them all, and he should be able to provide for them all as to marry them. We may say the standard isn't the same for both genders, and it is true, as much as in other aspects of life there are standards granting women some rights males doesn't have. For people inmersed in this culture, this isn problematic. The problem arouses when different cultures collide and we start making comparisons between the adventages certain culture give to some individuals, in such a way that in the other culture these individuals are being seen as deprived from these "adventages", isolatedly (i.e. without taking into account other adventages that their culture have that may compensate the deprivings for people inmersed in that culture).
The problem isn't about Western religions, isn't about this guy being Muslim, insth'a bout this gal being not Mulsim, but about combining this facts, without noe of them being able or up to negotiate values.
