“Co-wife”. That’s a degrading term if I’ve ever heard one.
Sorry, I’m too busy laughing.
You seem to have a focus on this subject. I kindly remind that polygamy is logically and morally unhealthy.
Since men and women are born in equal proportions, polygamy creates an imbalance that results in a) many single, angry men, and b) women that get treated like possessions. Children get hurt too - it is hard enough for a man to be a good father to one wife’s children, let alone two or more!
It is far better to remember what Christ had to say on the subject of matrimony & sex partners (to the woman at the well), as well as the example His family (Mary & Joseph, albeit as step-dad) presented to the world.
Contrast “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
Interesting how this is always the randy male taking on multiple females, whether it’s Mormon or muzzie or bizarro cult. How come Mashallafallaballadalla can’t have two hubbies? Just sayin’
Didn’t read the whole thing. Polygamy is practiced in western culture too. I used to date a woman who was a former member of a polygamist marriage. It seems to be catching on more with the younger generation. And no, I do not condone polygamy.
I imagine it’s easier for the wives to get along after they’ve all been genitally mutilated and had clitorectomies.
Bat, meet wasp nest. Swing away!
‘Adults’ who have fallen into this crap can barely navigate a way out but for the Grace of God, the children born into such...
A “survival guide” is only necessary if you are in situations where your survival is precarious, yes?
My comment is: I think it’s the next thing to come down the marital turnpike.
The courts haven’t ruled for polygamists the way they have for gay marriage supporters, but the impact of opening the door to what can be defined as marriage has consequences beyond the courtroom. If I was a polygamist, I’d say “hey, if two men can be defined as married, then why not a man and two women? Love is Love, right?”
Furthermore, if I were a polygamist, I’d have all the ammo I needed to shoot down most any argument but the moral one against me. For example, if they say it’s an unhealthy lifestyle? I could come right back with “not nearly as unhealthy as that of many gay men, who are allowed to marry.” And so on.
Once something as permanent and unchanging as the definition of marriage is changed, it loses its taboo of “we can’t go there as a society”, and it’s open to reinterpretation by whatever group seeks to add themselves to that definition.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
This is singular, not plural.
Isaac and Rebecca.
The left wing mass media is already promoting polygamy...

It’s wrong and it’s sick. Besides that, her comments about how difficult it is for the husband because he must provide for and keep everyone happy is another reason it does not work and cannot be a good for society: Most polygamous marriages are mired in poverty, financial, spiritual and emotional poverty. It is not the ideal, and not God’s ideal; another reason why Allah is inferior to our God.
The references to various problems that may arise suggests that Muslims know well that polygamy is fraught with difficulties.
She goes on and on about her ideal life. But I bet deep down she knows this is a disaster waiting to happen.
Always the guy's fault.

So much to choose from (article), settled on this one, lol.
Regardless of what people are taught, religion, belief, your parents, society, etc..., For humans alone, IF you've 'serious feelings' for another (whether you're a man or woman), polygamy won't be accepted (in any shape or form). And, no matter what you do, one can never treat "equally", on an ongoing basis, at least not on an emotional connection level; too complicated -- the rest is guff.
Could you imagine more than one spouse at a time?? (times two -—let alone four)
