@ aloy/emeka i don't seems to understand why you are obsessed with Islam, there are so many issues regarding Christianity that you should have channel your energy to resolve, even as you are here criticizing Islam's Support of polygamy, the Pope and other Rev. Fathers all over world, are violating little girls in the name of your religion (Christianity)! A religion that is so short sighted to have recognized the fact that men are created weak and therefore its practically impossible for an able bodied man/woman to have spend a lifetime without having a sexual relation with the opposite sex.
For e.g. How do you convinced a sane person that Pope John Paul Died a virgin or that Benedict has never sleep with a woman over these years. So i don't think its a matter of Islam laying so much emphasis on sex rather its a matter of facing the reality.

who or what gave u such notion as to polygamy meaning to be a tool against adultery?

do u realise that polygamists are still adulterous? So find something better to say to justify your point lipsrsealed

fact is, a muslim Man doesnt need an excuse to go into polygamy
. It may not be for the s3x nd it cld be. But, he has to compulsory follow certain rules.

for example, If he cant satisfy them in any way, whether as a man, or financially or in any other way, he is not to practice it. But once he can, the ball is in his court.

s3x is not the only justification for polygamy. After all, no matter how much a woman wants it, she can only have a man.

What you ladies do not know is that for a MAN marrying more than 10 WOMEN will never stop his adulterous instincts. The poor man will always grave for more pleasures because his instincts will always tell him that there are still more ladies with different styles he has not tried. So there is no Good excuse for any Bad habit.

When a Man is discipline, He is discipline no matter what. Religion or not. But he will always find an excuse because his religion has given him a way out to indulge himself.
So before he marries the 2nd, 3rd i bet you he must have tasted average of 6 and incidentally one takes in, noway out, then he brings her home with imams and family members and they begin to quote from the Glorious books for the wife to accept, then the wife being bound by the Glorious books has only one option, to accept the 2nd wife without asking herself these questions- How many has he tried before bringing one home? Will this be the last one? The very act of adltry the book was trying to avoid in the first act, was the very act done before the second or third wife will come in.

So who is fooling who?
@OP a very good post, but it takes those that can think beyond the fraternity of religion to think wisely.

Ima Ima:

am not a muslim woman but am jealous and dont like to share.

besides i dont think the quaran(sorry if i missd d spellin) promotes polygamy.didnt it say that if the man can love the women equally, only then can he marry more than one wife?but we kno its not possible to love two pple the same way.

It did not say the man must love his wives (maximum of 4) equally. It says he must be just (fair) with them. You cannot love even your Children equally but you must be fair to them. It is the same principle that applies to a Muslim man with more than one wife. You get the drift- I hope/trust!

if we claim to be like God them our desposition should be like God,
even in the animal kingdom there is high level of decorum, they stick to one partner for life till death do them part (pigeon). how much more human. God is a jealous God, women are jealous they don't want competition.

the basis of argument in support of this matter is never acceptable.

argument yin ko ta, ko dun.
Which animal stick to one wife or which part of animal kingdom stick to one wife, Seems you watch too much of cartoon. You need to get Animal planet or discovery world channel to learn more to learn more or better still go to your village and study the he/she goat and am sure you will notice how the young one he goat sleep withs his mother.
For goodness sake while on earth will u compare human being with animal, this is a forum to learn and share not to abuse it.

This is just plain disgusting behaviour.

While Jesus was preoccupied with saving mankind and taking us to a higher plane of holiness and moral ethic, Mo ( PBUH ) was busy marrying 13 wives including a 9 year old.

Why was a Holy man preoccupied with SEX.

For muslim women to degrade themselves by accepting such madness is just unbelievable in this day and age.

And please don't start quoting bible verses about what happened 5000 years ago, we are in the 21st century for goodness sakes ||

I believe what the Glorious Book should have laid emphases on is Discipline and it shouldn't have encouraged polygamy for any so call reasons at all, saying that is the nature of man. It is a pure lie from the pit of hell sold by the devil. Once you tell God to help you with discipline you will find it easy and nice as a man. A man of will and discipline is strong and will withstand any act of adulterous life.

would you be like jesus and not marry?

You are not eve ashamed of yourself that you choose a part of the bible and ignore others. Well, Jesus spoke of the end times- now u only take the part that suits you.

In reality, every1 knows if the laws of the Qur'an are followed and men cohabit with only the women their hands possess, the world would be free of many of these sexually transmitted infections.

polygammy is just an excuse for lack of commitment. thanks da lord he does not behave like this towards us. it treat each one exclusively like you are the only one existing in the world.

He replicated his word to us" thou shall worship no other god but me" he is too jealouse to accomadate any other.
basis for instituting marriage

wat is d definition of discipline. the problem wv many of u is dat u do not read to understand but to criticise. I mentioned in a previous post that it is not all about the s3x. A man wv two wives who keeps to them only is also disciplined or is he not?

and despite that ur holy book emphasised discipline, are christians not promiscuous?? Are u a virgin or were u one at ur marriage??(if u are married) feel free to answer one. Or av pastors not been seen violating children??

I'm sorry dear, but Its not like that. I just make them feel good, give them the attention their husbands fail to give them. And moreover, I knew both of them before they were forced into marriage. Atimes most women who cheat on their husbands dont do it because they are being sexually starved,  but cos they are emotionally neglected by their husbands, and thats where I come in.

I dont like it but if I dont do it, some other punk would just take advantage of them.

Talking about discipline now, Muslims have the highest order of morality on earth, even in Nigeria here the rate of immoral acts such as: fornication, adultery, abortion etc is higher in Christian dominated states than in Muslim dominated states

my sister was a single mother of two and a doctor. her 1st husband was a, well, he was an idiot!he divorced her, for a few years she was single, and my parents had to support her alot with taking care of the kids
a few months ago, she met someone else that was married to someone already. his wife and my sis were even namesakes. the man had the intention of marrying my sis, and his 1st wife, being the noble muslimah that she is, consented. now shes married again and she's happier. at least she's not lonely anymore. and her husband has lifted some of the weight off. so what can u say about that?
the fact is, there are advantages to polygamy that most people do not take into consideration before criticizing it. people need to open their minds

You know, that would be a fair statement if the second, third and fourth wives of most polygamous Muslim men are widows or divorcees, but they arent. These women are young, often underage girls that are married against their will.

The both ladies I was telling you about are not even up to 20. The one who is a 3rd wife cried to me when her father concluded plans of marrying her off to this rich muslim business man.

there's no advantage in polygamy - there's always conflict in the family. women are naturally jealous beings and for that reason, there can never be peace.
most of them smile in public and harbour evil vices in their hearts. some do juju and other metaphysical stunts. this then transcends to the children and so on and so forth.

Pls am trying not to be religious but for us to understand some concepts by thinking out of the box. What is Adultery-extramarital sex: voluntary sexual relations between a married person and somebody other than his or her spouse.
Once it is more than one wife it is adultery then religion helps you if you impregnate and marry her then she becomes 2nd wife.
Discipline- the ability to behave in a controlled and calm way, or actitude even in a difficult or stressful situation.

I am not married and i am still a virgin- because i told myself i will reserve myself for my wife, i am little above 30 and a full blown man.
