Am I the only one that caught the typo? mbuzi = mbizi.
It's so obvious.

I don’t condone polygamy, but a society with an equal male-female ratio that allows only men to be polygamous is going to end up with many frustrated men who can’t get a wife. It makes more sense to either allow it for both genders, or not at all.

One who has husbands alternate being at home or travelling to far off places... That’s how it works with the Tibetan polyandrists. In addition, the multiple husbands are usually also brothers to each other as well. But then again, you probably have a good idea as to why the one man, many wives situation is more common than the single woman with multiple husbands.

I think we should look at a few things here. I don’t condone polygamy legally, but there are plenty of men who have multiple mistresses already. Are you jealous that some Senator or other celebrity like Hugh Hefner has multiple women while others are single? Personally, and as a man, I am not jealous of Hefner’s girlfriends and I wouldn’t go for them anyways. Also, not all men are equal either, would a woman go for a man who is forty who works as a cashier as opposed to one who earns good income as a doctor, or who works as a successful businessman?

The reality is, polygamy will never likely be common, or get approved legally in mainstream society just because most people would prefer having a plurality of mistresses or their male counterpart as opposed to real spouses in the legal sense. There’s just too many responsibilities involved for someone who wants to play around nowadays, however, I can’t help you with the fact that your neighbor has a non-legal secret second family with a “single” woman in another community, or the fact that someone cheats on his/her spouse. All I am saying is just the fact that this argument has been argued to death, and I would ask those questions in return. I denounce any legal polygamy, because I only see it as a re-run of the same-sex marriage issue, where this new “victim group” demands society to death on “reparations” and subsidies for their “oppressed” or unpopular ways of life.
