That is a liberal interpretation - they may even suggest that the punishment for ex-Muslims is not the death penalty. They are historically inaccurate and simply wrong.

Concubines went out with Genie and the lamp. As stated before, the man has to give each wife exactly the same amount of money, goods, homes, gifts etc.
Concubines remain in places where Western influence has not fully reached - for example in Sudan, Mauritania etc.

The idea that the man must give each wife an equal amount of material goods contradicts the Sunnah and the actions of Muhammad himself- i.e. it does not form part of Sharia historically and it is haram to suggest that it does.
