According to Islamic law, keeping a woman more than one husband is unlawful but one man is allowed to keep up to four wives.
Divorce can be given on both sides. Husband can live separately from his wife, but the woman has to get husband's permission.
If he refuses, he can go to his religious court and accept it.

Maulid Haji Abdi of the BBC Somali service says that divorce is common in Somalia, but this case is uncommon.
Al Shabab strictly applies to Sharia law in areas under its control.
Those who do not believe in it, they give corporal punishment, cutting off the hands of the thieves and killing the woman who is accused of adultery.
