How can Galloway have married Rima Husseini in 2005 when he was still married to Amineh Abu-Zayyad until 2009? If he married Husseini only in an Islamic ceremony, it will not have ever had legal force in the UK, in which case she was never his wife and should be removed from the "Spouse(s)" section of the infobox; if it was a civil marriage, then he would have been guilty of bigamy (and the Husseini marriage would still have been void).
To my knowledge, Wikipedia does not endorse "non-marriages" (i.e. putative marriages or marriage-like ceremonies that provably have no legal force) being listed as marriages in this way, in which case Husseini should be removed.
It says he married his current wife in a religious ceremony and then married her in a civil ceremony after his divorce. So there is nothing ambiguous about his current marital statue. I do not see any reason to mention that his religious marriage was not recognized under English law, but his consequent civil marriage was. TFD (talk) 01:12, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am still confused, unless he was a bigamist. Zezen (talk) 04:33, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well you could start by reverting a few changes made each day by the banned paid shill. Do you think that would help? or should I quote George:
"Now I know that standards have slipped in the last few years in Washington[Wikipedia], but for a lawyer[Editor] you are remarkably cavalier with any idea of justice[conflict of interest]. I am here today but last week you already found me guilty. You traduced my name around the world without ever having asked me a single question, without ever having contacted me, without ever having written to me or telephoned me, without any attempt to contact me whatsoever, and you call that justice." - George Galloway, Senate hearing (17 May 2005).
No, let Wikipedias damaged reputation stand.
Conflict With Robert Maxwell
It seems to me that George Galloway exposing Robert Maxwell as an agent of Mossad, (or at least his accusation of that), with Maxwell’s death following a couple of weeks later, would be a topic that warrants inclusion in this article.
