Have you considered that EVERY HUMAN man or woman every decision we make is as a result of the enviroment, the culture, the religion that shapes what we like or dont like?


I have. How does that change the question I'm asking?

if a human was born in the forest and raised by animals he would also think there is no need for marriage to be attached to any individual just cop an errection and shagg anyone including your parents like animals do

So women who grew up in Monogamous society majority would tend Monogamy, Those who grew up in Polygamy would tend to not find anything bad with Polygamy

ileoba is lost!
CNN has messed with her psyche. she thinks every woman in the world buys into the western civilisation bullcrap! women in amazon forest think hilary clinton is crazy for wearing clothes.....

The question you are asking wont be necesary if you have considered it because Not only Polygamist make decisions based on their religion, culture and environment but ALL HUMAN beings which polygamists are a subset of.

You think Monogamy is right as a result of your culture religion and environment too. How about that?

Oh boy! This is tiring.

Okay, let me use another analogy. Some people decide to practice abstinence before marriage because of their religion. Now if I asked those people, 'If not for your religion, is it your natural desire to practice abstinence?' Would that question be as hard for you to grasp as the one I'm currently asking?

i digested the main facts and left out the opinion of a defeatist journalist!! even when she was told the wives are very happy, she still manages to paint the story in such a way that the women were suffering. i believe the quotes of the women interviewed are more credible than the opinion of the writer who is prejudiced even before she stepped her foot in their houses.....

in a nutshell, what you emboldened is irrelevant!




but these women are happy - do you know more than them? out of the 5 wives interviewed from 2 polygamous settings, only one of them who happens to be 63 years spoke with bitterness. the other 4 were quote happy with their marriage!

Refer to this post.

chaircover: I doubt it.

Deep Deep Deep down in them, I dont think that any woman wants to share a man that she genuinely loves . .and . .

Deep Deep Deep down in them, I dont think that any mother will want another wifes children to do better than hers.

Surface levels is another story altogether.


Replies from women in this thread should tell you that we could never truly be happy in such a setting, we could accept it however. If you aren't a woman, don't speak for women on the issue of polygamy.


coogar:
There are plenty of reasons a polygamous family would be happy and there are plenty of reasons a woman would willingly share her husband with another.

open your local newspaper for a start and see the amount of swingers party that goes around in your neighbourhood - there are placed ads by married couples seeking a woman/man to complete a ménage a troîs.

this is the 21st century - stop viewing the world with the eyes of an aztec/mayans!

all the women on this thread lean towards western education, the opinion is bound to be the same. what about women in the northern africa or the middle east? the women on this thread do not speak for other women in the world!

why won't they?
they believe love is sharing, isn't it? if there's no fuss about their husband marrying multiple wives, why should there be any problem in group sex?

Re: Is There A Happy Polygamous Home? by damiso(f): 7:58am On Jun 15, 2013
This thread just made me remember that i wrote my final yr project on feminist views in islam and based it on african writers mainly from islamic countries.Chose that topic cos it was like a contradiction of sorts also cos my supervisor then needed to be impressed cos the man was something else(I wanted to prove a point cos the mam used to pick on me alot).


So I had to do alot if research.One of the texts I used (can believe I still remember after so many yrs cheesy) was from a relatively unknown Egyptian writer called Alifa Rifaat and it was a collection of Short stories called Distant View of A Minaret.It was written in Arabic then later translated to english and for a very long while was banned in Egypt.This particular one touched alot on polygamy, child marriage and the internal wranglings muslim women face when deep down they sometimes resent having to share their man.Some felt guilty that those feelings made them feel they were not good enough muslims and quickly suppressed those desires.I also used Mariama Ba So Long A Letter (though from senegal) and so many other ones.

The conclusion was that feminism in Africa especially those of islamic extraction had to toe a different line I.e they are more womanists.But that research threw up polygamy as an issue that most of these women accepted as part of their faith.Some would choose it but sometimes (as normal for most human dealings) deep deep down they sometimes resented or questioned it.

you sound like those women were/are forced? If that's the case why is that not everyone is/was in polygamy? Stop playing the victims, women were not enduring anything.

AjanleKoko: Polygamy's a no-no. Way too expensive embarassed
Plus, what's the point really? One wife is enough headache already embarassed angry
one wife is surely enough my brother. I often wonder how anyone will manage to date 2 women at the same time,talk less of marrying them.

I honestly can't give an opinion because I was not born into polygamy. But, I can't imagine sharing my husband with anyone. That would tear me apart. Namely because of trust, would he tell other wives my/Our personal problems. Also, because of conflict resolution, would he turn to another wife when we have problems in order to clear his head. Finally, in my opinion it would create, big head syndrome, as in the man's head go inflate from too much attention.
