'Seeking Sister Wife' Exclusive Clip: Naeem's Mom Isn't Onboard

TLC’s Seeking Sister Wife premieres on Monday, March 4, and we’ve got a clip of a mom who’s against her son’s lifestyle.

Childhood friends turned married couple, Nailah and Naeem have known each other for most of their lives and after 15 years of marriage, it was Nailah who suggested they look for a sister wife.

Raised Muslim, Nailah and Naeem are familiar with polygamy but they’re being met with unexpected challenges including their biggest hurdle of all; Naeem’s mom.

The matriarch is not on board with her son bringing a second woman into his marriage, and she thinks the potential exchange of bodily fluids with the sister wife could be “germy.”

“It’s not for me, I don’t like sharing, I’m very picky, it’s germy to me. I don’t like it, it’s my opinion,” says the mom.

Her comments offend Naeem and Nailah, who remind her that they would have the potential sister wife tested before bringing her into their marriage.

“The person is clean, that’s the premise,” says Nailah. “You do know, before you go into all that, everyone gets tested,” adds Naeem.

Still, his mom doubles down on her opinion that the exchange of bodily fluids is unclean but Naeem and his wife stand firm on believing otherwise.

“It’s still body fluids,” says his mom. “If you good with it, why do you want my approval?”

“I don’t want your approval, I don’t think we need approval, we just wanted your opinions on it,” fires back Nailah.

“My mother thinks it’s germy, because all she’s thinking about is sex,” says Naeem.” She doesn’t understand that we’re adults and that we already are taking precautions for everything we do.

“I think her statement is ignorant,” adds Nailah. “It comes from a closed mindset.”
