We are not in the Old Testament days, thank goodness. Women don’t have to tolerate the horrible conditions that they lived in back then. Would you be so accepting of polyandry? Women get NOTHING out of polygamy but loneliness. Even the Muslim view of polygamy is better than the “Christian” view. At least the Muslim women have their own houses & aren’t forced to associate with the other wives.

Women does not have the monopoly on loneliness.
But if polygamy is good or bad is not my argument but as far as the tribes of Israel go it was the wives who started it and not the men, at least that is what I read in
Genesis 16:1 through 4
There are people who are trying to put polygamy in the same category as sodomy, and I believe they are either cracked in the head or their intentions are evil.
If God would have thought that polygamy was an abomination he would have destroyed Abraham just as he did Sodom.
I don`t think I could handle polygamy but what I am against is people adding their own words to the scripture, we can not trust people who do that even if it happens to agree with what we believe is our ideal.

I have an idea that it was only the more well off people in Israel who had multiple wives, and most likely the same way in the Muslim world except these people are very rich and can afford many houses.
Seems like they are the ones who would be lonely.
