So far it seems it's only the man who benefits really from polygamy.

Someone has said polygamy rescues single mothers. Sweetheart you don't need to sound desperate to prove polygamy has advantages.

1- A brief look at polygamy in the Old Testament:

Let us look at some of the verses from the Old Testament that allow polygamy:

In Exodus 21:10, a man can marry an infinite amount of women without any limits to how many he can marry.

In 2 Samuel 5:13; 1 Chronicles 3:1-9, 14:3, King David had six wives and numerous concubines.

In 1 Kings 11:3, King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines.

In 2 Chronicles 11:21, King Solomon's son Rehoboam had 18 wives and 60 concubines.

In Deuteronomy 21:15 "If a man has two wives, and he loves one but not the other, and both bear him sons, "

There are a lot more verses from the Old Testament that allow polygamy, but I think that the above are sufficient enough to prove my point.

Before I present the verses from the New Testament that allow polygamy, I first would like to prove to you that Jesus peace be upon him did honor the laws of the Old Testament, and did order his followers (the Christians as we call them) to follow the laws of the Old Testament:

Jesus said: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law (the Old Testament) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law (the Old Testament) until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18)"

Christians always say as an excuse "Oh this law doesn't exist in the New Testament, it is only the Old Testament." Well, according to Matthew 5:17-18 above, we clearly see that Jesus honored the Old Testament, and forces Christians to follow the unmodified laws of it that have not been replaced by newer ones in the New Testament. The Old Testament as we clearly see above does indeed allow polygamy without a shadow of a doubt !!.


There is not a single verse from the New Testament that prohibits polygamy. Christians usually mistakenly present the following verses from the Bible to prove that polygamy in the New Testament is not allowed:

Matthew 19:1-12 "1. When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to
the other side of the Jordan.
2. Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3. Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?"
4. "Haven't you read," he (Jesus) replied, "that at the beginning the Creator `made them male and female,'
5. and said, `For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh' ?
6. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
7. "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"
8. Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.
9. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
10. The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry."
11. Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.
12. For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."

In the above verses, we see that Jesus was approached with a question about whether or not it is allowed for a man to divorce his wife in Matthew 19:3. Jesus immediately referred to the Old Testament for the answer in Matthew 19:4. He referred to Adam and Eve, one man and one woman. The Old Testament does talk about the story of Adam and Eve as one husband and one wife. However, the Old Testament which Jesus had referred to in Matthew 19:3 does allow polygamy.

Also, when a man becomes a one flesh with his wife in Matthew 19:5-6, this doesn't mean that the man can't be one flesh with another woman. He can be one flesh with his first wife, and one flesh with his second wife, and one flesh with his third wife and so on, To further prove this point, let us look at the following from the New Testament:


Matthew 22:23-32 "23. That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
24. "Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him.
25. Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.
26. The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh.
27. Finally, the woman died.
28. Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?"
29. Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
30. At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
31. But about the resurrection of the dead--have you not read what God said to you,
32. `I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob' ? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."

In Matthew 22:24-28, the Jews referred to Deuteronomy 25:5 from the Old Testament where it states that if a woman's husband dies, and she didn't have any kids from him, then she must marry his brother regardless whether he had a wife or not. When the Jews brought this situation up to Jesus in Matthew 22:24-28, Jesus did not prohibit at all for the childless widow to marry her husband's brother (even if he were married). Instead, Jesus replied to them by saying that we do not marry in heaven, and we will be like angels in heaven (Matthew 22:30).

So in other words, if Jesus allowed for a widow to marry her former husband's brother even if he were married, then this negates the Christians' claim about the Bible prohibiting polygamy. A man can be one flesh with more than one woman. In the case of Matthew 22:24-28, the man can be one flesh with his wife, and one flesh with his deceased brother's wife. Also keep in mind that Exodus 21:10 allows a man to marry an infinite amount of women, and Deuteronomy 21:15 allows a man to marry more than one wife.

Sounding desperate eh?

yes Christ came to fulfill the law,look up the word fulfillment and read the book of Hebrews,stop parroting nonsense.

Having undertaken an overall perusal of this discussion, it is ovbious & explicitly clear that our dear Funmi has a reservation for muslims. However, I don't subscribe to the use of this forum as an avenue for a display of religious bigotry, chauvinism & un-complimentary remarks.

My submissions are as follows:

1) Islam permits polygamy. This permission comes along with its reponsibilties.One of which is that those engaged in it must be economically capable of such adventure.

2) The institution of polygamy serves to remedy some societal circumstances:

a) Issues of the incompatibility of a couple after marriage.In order to salvage the image of both parties, a man is permitted to take a second wife if d first is not able to give him a child. With respect to the rights of the woman, she is entitled to seeking a divorce from the man (if she so wishes), if he is d source of d childless-ness/in-compatibility.
b) Issues of non-proportional ratio of men:women. It is clear from all around us, there are virtually more men than women in the society. If u're a student, just take a brief & cursory look at the gender ratio in ur class & u will understand what i mean.
If the institution of polygamy is non-existent,what happens to the other women, after the one man, one wife pair has been exhausted.Are they to seek husbands from Mars?
c) Issues of having extramarital affairs.

Polygamy, in Islam is a remedy to solve some societal issues & not just a welcomed culture.

With respect to the issue of muslim men having higher a % of polygamy concentratn, I beg to contest that fact. In my case, my nuclear family is the only one not involved in polygamy in an extended family made up mainly of xtians.


As a summary, we should endeavour to all try as much as possible to make inquiries before delving into issues, to find more refined ways in engaging ourselves without hurting each others' feelings and also to prevent pre-conceived ideas from modelling our thoughts & perceptions. Indeed, we have so much work to do moving our beloved country to greater heights than indulging in such.

@ hotfunmi truly, i didn't realise that in addition to being a budding christian bigot in crusaders clothing, you're also a shrink. who would have thought that in a single thread, you figured out enough about me to know that i don't feel good about myself.perhaps you belong to that school of thought that considers feeling good about onself to be the domain of the self described 'god's children' alone. tongue, rest assured, i feel okay with myself, and i am secure enough in myself to feel have no need to give myself a name such as 'jedi engineer'  'mr sixpack' ,  'big boy' or anything else.

also , as a muslim, i glorify Allah for his blessings by thanking Him, not by referring to myself as 'jedi engineer'  'mr sixpack' ,  'big boy' , 'CAD guru' 'baba fine boy' or anything else. referring to myself in such a manner has the stink of hubris, or even better self glorification.

@funmi and osisi

when will u guys realise you can only rant about this polygamy thing and can do nothing about it. it is a a choice people make, do u think other ppl can force down ur throat their choices telling you urs is wrong, why dont you vent ur anger and energy on the terrible increase in divorces, that would be more like it. That way u will help several people.

The truth is if i have the financial muscle i am going to marry more than one wife and i have no apology,cus i do not agree with extra marital affairs. no matter what u say or the gimmick u employ, it is allowe in Islam and i think it is non of you business if muslims wants to, for heaven sake why do u think ur ideas are the best or the only reasonable, others think too you know and they sure know what they are doing!.

@funmi and osisi

when will u guys realise you can only rant about this polygamy thing and can do nothing about it. it is a a choice people make, do u think other people can force down your throat their choices telling you urs is wrong, why don't you vent your anger and energy on the terrible increase in divorces, that would be more like it. That way u will help several people.

My dear, marrying multiple wives is not a cure for infidelity.You can have a bed full of women leave your home and find other attractive women to keep you warm.
It takes a man who marries a woman he respects to realise that he ought to forget all others and build a home with her.
Three's a crowd and 5 sure is a market place
I thank God I'm married to a man who is in Christ and understands that our love here on earth should mirror the love Christ has for his Church.
I also thank God I was raised by a father who is still married to his one true love for more than 3 decades now.

what you decide to do is your business but I can assure you ,i f you have wondering eyes,4 women won't be enough.

Posted By Oyb,
@ hotfunmi truly, i didn't realise that in addition to being a budding christian bigot in crusaders clothing, you're also a shrink. who would have thought that in a single thread, you figured out enough about me to know that i don't feel good about myself.perhaps you belong to that school of thought that considers  feeling good about onself to be the domain of  the self described  'god's children' alone. , rest assured, i feel okay with myself, and i am secure enough in myself to feel have no need to give myself a name such as 'jedi engineer'  'mr sixpack' ,  'big boy' or anything else. .
I am so mortified, ehm amused. Why give yourself such names when you wallow in self pity with a protruding stomach? Wouldn't that be mocking yourself?  You surely lack the spirit behind self esteem and that is evident from your utterances.  I hope you know that "big boy" actually  means a fat man{ you can use that at your own discretion, keep up with the isi ewu).

also , as a muslim, i glorify Allah for his blessings by thanking Him, not by referring to myself as  'jedi engineer'  'mr sixpack' ,  'big boy' , 'CAD guru' 'baba fine boy' or anything else. referring to myself in such a manner has the stink of hubris, or even better self glorification.
Self glorification? what if you call yourself a "sorry computer technician", what will that be? self mortification?

reservations, who are you kidding? how about outright hatred?  you can bet she seethes inwardly whenever she is in the presence of muslims.don't you know nairaland is the only way so many christian bigots can bleed off their hatred of Islam, Muslims, Muhammed, and Allah. without nairaland some people would have run mad along time ago,
There you go again, I have no business with Islam/moslems and will not hate them as Christ taught me. I only do not agree with Islam, isn't that my fundamental right? I will never marry a moslem by[b] my own choice[/b] just like you may never agree with christianity at your RISK. You and your Islamic faithfuls can worship muhammed at will, it's not my business as long as you throw the bombs and stones at yourselves whenever you feel like. Do not visit me with matchet, bombs or any form of agression because I do not agree with your religion because I will never do the same to you or is Islam no more a peaceful religion?
