Multiple marriages contracted in jurisdictions which recognise multiple marriages are in fact recognised in Malta. In any case, the Sale of Passports law defines &#039;spouse&#039; using the definition of the jurisdiction in question. If it is Saudi Arabia then multiple spouses are recognised. 

Just for the sake of example (and for the love of god let us not go off on a tangent), Malta recognised same-sex spouses from other jurisdictions long before it introduced gay marriage.

Back to Saudi Arabia. The more, the merrier.

(Surely, &quot;the Manuel&quot;? Ed.)]]></description>

In the same week - 10th September, to be exact - Identity Malta, Manwel Mallia&#039;s super-agency, was created by stealth with a legal notice published in the government gazette. muscat&#039;s interview was published a month later, but the news was deliberately kept out of the limelight in Malta.

How does that work, exactly? Saudis may have multiple wives, but polygamy is not recognised under Maltese law. Wouldn&#039;t that make additional wives primary applicants, rather than spouses? Or is Muscat&#039;s government being screwed by its own scheme?]]></description>
