Sadiq Khan on meeting his wife, embarrassing his daughters and dating advice he gives friends

We all know Sadiq Khan, the son-of-a-bus-driver-turned-Mayor-of-London. But what about Sadiq the Tooting resident, husband of Saadiya and father-of-two? Katie Strick sits down with our city’s mayor for an exclusive Valentine’s Day chat.
“I went from having six brothers and a sister, to having two children who are women... I think that more female environment has changed my behaviour for the better,” the former human rights lawyer and Labour MP for Tooting tells me, shortly after pulling our editor Dylan Jones into a warm embrace as he arrives at our Evening Standard offices on Finsbury Square. “Now I make a point of giving hugs to my male friends, to my colleagues, to people I haven’t seen in a while. It’s a way of showing love without needing to say ‘I love you’.”

Does he have 1 wife or 4?
And how old is she?
Because according to his belief he is allowed up to 4 wives and they can be 6 year old or older

-18 minimum in most countries like Emirates or Morocco….
-2 to 4 during wars, if they all consensual about the arrangements.
- They can never leave together, 2 wives = 2 homes……
But the whole thing is weird 😅

Why do Spain, France, Germany have such a low age of consent? Creepy. It is 14 in Italy...disgusting.
