PS Another FACT that I did not mention is AGE - ie age that women have their first child. I believe that this is around 30 for Australian women. This limits child bearing , imo.

If a muslim women is organised by her father into an early marriage (say before 20) then it is likely she will start having children earlier, especially if she is not allowed to use contraceptives. It is likely that she could have several children in her 20s and well before Australian women start.

IN MY OPINION it means that certain sections and regions of the country will have higher population growth than others.

POLYGYNY is a separate issue. But I believe very young muslim women that comply with this sort of relationship, will have little or no say in how many babies they bear.
