Polygamy has often been regarded as a situation whereby a man marries two or more wives(legally or illegally). However, that may not be true as the above description only describes 'polygyny' which is one of the forms of polygamy.
The other forms of polygamy include polyandry, group marriage(conjoint marriage) among others.
Unlike polygyny, polyandry is a form of polygamy where a woman takes two or more husbands at the same time.
It is practised in some parts of the world like Tibet, northern parts of Nepal and India among others.
It has been used to control overpopulation in some parts of Asia in the past.
So I've been wondering, if it's not illegal and abnormal, then why is it not practised in Nigeria?
Why is polygyny allowed and polyandry frowned at?
Is it against our culture, norms and values?

that cannit be possible here in Nigeria. How can many men be fucking only one lady at the same time. WE wont allow this. ABOMINATION!!!

Because "TOTO" is the TEMPLE OF GOD OR ALLAH in Africa!

Only men can "DIP"!

So why is one man bleeping numerous women not an abomination too?

You that asked this question,how did it sound in your ears? anyway,you can attempt it but don't come here to give us feedback because we may not be needing it

Because it's not our culture...and most Nigerian men are not liberal, they are selfish. They would die at the thought of another man sleeping with their wives but they won't pity their wives and stay one place.

Will they be having threes.ome or take it turn by turn?am just wondering...what if the woman got pregnant?? who will be responsible for it among them? its bad though, its not part of us... some part of Africa practise it maybe

Lol. Nigerian men have too much testosterone for such wild fantasies. Na body go tell the woman. Do you know how many Nigerian women wish they could run away from their current husbands and how many want to just kill the basterd? She will just die young.

How can a Nigerian ask us why polyandry is not practiced in Nigeria
Tell us if it's in your culture na
or you start it

Abomination indeed but would support polygamy. What an archaic cultural norm we have in Nigeria. It's not as if polyandry is good

Polygamy is practised in this part of the world because of the selfish nature of our men over here. They make laws that favour them at the expense of the opposite sex using deity as threat. The deity only work based on the agreement held by our fore fathers because of the agreement they enter. Same with the polyandry being practised in other countries

Who told u it can't be included in our culture?
How sure are you that it's not the selfish nature of man that made them adopt polygyny and ignore polyandry?
Do you know polyandry can be used to control overpopulation like it has been used to control overpopulation in some part of Asia in the past?

There are exceptions to your opinion...
Have you heard of nymphomaniacs?
There are plenty women who can't be satisfied by one man. Their sexual desire and libido is so high that they need more than one man for sexual satisfaction.

does polyandry make sense to you?

If not for the fear of God... If one husband dies you wil have a back-up. But God says one man one woman and so be it.

.....because our men are selfish

Aunty please help us start it
