WHY NOT ALLOW MEN TO MARRY MORE THAN ONE WIFE LIKE MUSLIMS DO

[Sithara007]

i read about mulims they  not allow to marry more than one except   the first wife have problem and she agree marry other

Theoretically if a Muslim man want to marry another woman, then he needs permission from his first wife to do that. But not always it is practical. Considering the extremely weak position of Muslim women, they may not be in a state to say "NO" to their husbands. If they do, then the individual will just divorce them and marry whomever he want.

There are so many women in the world that every man could have several wives.

[Cakalasia]

Maybe because we have different religious, in muslim's religion you can have a mary as many as you want as long as you can do support them to all what they want. But in Christian we only believe that we can only love one.

Why not to allow wemen to have more than one husband?

[Malsetid]

Lol! Kinda thought about that too. Itnwould decrease infidelity and adultery cases right? But culture and religion has its own say in this matter and i'm not sure why its taboo but for me, as long as you can support it and there is consent by your wpuld be wives, its okay

[blakeh]

Because we are to become one flesh with one another... and yeah, anyone can barely afford one woman... do you know how much they shop??? lol

That problem doesn't exist in the Islamic world (especially in the middle east), because the women are treated like slaves in these countries. Most of them times, they are confined inside their houses and they are allowed to go out only in the company of men. It doesn't matter to them much, as they are quite unaware of the outside world.

Absurd! You want more wife? Do you have lots of money to feed many wives and many children? You will become a problem of the government if you can't financially support your so called wives. Come to think of it, it is not a joke, Muslims are allowed to marry more than one because of tradition, however they are not allowed to do so if they are not financially capable.

[Pancho95]

Well it says that muslims can have more than one wife if they can manage to support financially and morally all of them. It means that no one of those women does not feel neglected in any ways. It also says that it is ok to have more than one women if all of them are agree on that and there no jealousy between them.

Hey guys so I have been doing a lot of research  and thinking and all have proven that there are more women than men....so to equalize it all i think everyone anywhere should be allow to marry as many woman as he want in other to share all the women equally....give me your though every one 

Hi bulala,

Thank you for your question. It's super easy, all empires know the answer.

If you want internal wars without end support polygamy.

Why? It's simple, when one man takes more than one woman he will ultimately create powerful internal ennemies.

There are two main scenarios:

1 the woman does it willingly (wanting to become wife number x):

In this scenario it means there are such economic imbalances that the women hypergamists programming drive them to the more asset rich men. As such poor blobs will be womanless. And what will happen with such a pool of men? Leadership will emerge and wage war on those having it all, at all costs, what ever is left standing is irrelevant as their defeat is the only objective. And one of the most interesting aspect is that among the poors will be insanely rich men, fighting along side, because there was on man richer who won her.

Maybe this is too culturally rich for you, so think about football... if the scorer of the team fucks all girls how will the team react?

I can't imagine how your brain must be spinning to process this new information. And the fall of your ancestors become evident. How pathetic little shit they were. Smashed by the empires, worthless, defensless, in all aspects... primitive little barbarians, may i say apes?

2 the women are propriety without free will. Then it's the same as in one, the only difference is that it will be a trade among men, which may offer more distribution, for example the farmer soldier who may not have the greatest wealth but may be respected by all his peers for his combat exploits. But again it brings in more disturbance in the force and result in the same effect.

Generally: from a biological standpoint, by having certain men reproduce more than other it weaken the genetic profile of the species. I let you research that. look at dog breeds vs street dogs.

why don't you ask why woman can't marry many men ? men and women are equal and should be equal in all ways.. will your ego can accept that you are living in one house under one roof with your wife together with her other husband ? you are asking question favorable for men but you are not thinking of others feeling .. i admire muslim on their fate and beliefs but thats the thing i cant accept on their religion to marry so many girls

[tsinelas]

You cant even manage to have enough money for yourself how do you ever expect to finance more then 1 woman?
You 3rd world ppl just dont have working logic.

because it is a sin. Because it is like stepping our ego (women).
It is a form of cheating. That when someone gets married, it means you have allowed that someone to take care of you. That you are one. That you will live your entire life and the rest of your life with your one and only wife

Many want many wives, but they do not think about the fact that they need to be kept together with all the children. In many Muslim countries, women do not work, but are fully supported by their husbands.

MUSLIM MEN ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MARRY MORE THAN ONE WOMAN. IN FACT, ISLAM IS THE FIRST MAJOR RELIGION TO PROHIBIT MARRYING MORE THAN ONE WOMAN, OR AT LEAST LIMITING IT TO FOUR. I'm not sure where, but in the Koran it says something to the effect of "marry only one". Islamic law will recognize up to 4 wives, after that additional women are like girlfriends. In practice Muslim men can do pretty much anything they want with women, only the women get in trouble for sexual related things. Islam also has the Mut'a, which is a marriage for one night, and a bride price may even be paid for that one night. That should kind of put things in perspective, as in they don't allow prostitution, but at the same time they actually do. Islam is not sexually strict culture that doesn't allow homosexuality and fornication as the liberal media in the west try to say.

Men today ARE allowed to marry more than one woman, except in the following cases:
1) The country was taken over by the Roman Catholic church (Spanish South America, some French Africa, Europe)
2) The country was taken over by the British / Anglican church (India, parts of Africa, USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, China during its pre Communist opium destabilization period)
3) The country is a Communist country, such China post 1951. Most Chinese today don't even know how recently polygamy was ended in their country. The Communists have wiped their history.

It was only during the last 100 years that polygamy has been abolished for most of the world, if you consider that India and China have a huge portion of the world's population. Marriage originated in Europe around the 10th century, when the Roman Catholic Church created the rite of marriage or institution of marriage, where marriage became a religious event when it previously was not. After marriage was created, marrying only one woman originated in Roman Catholic Europe in the 11th century and spread from there as European powers conquered much of the rest of the world.

Some men cant even support the life of a single woman. So i think its only good that people are given a chance to only marry one. Also it brings out most of the fun in loving someone because you can have them all to yourself without competition whatsoever.

"Having them all to yourself" isn't necessarily what love is. That's more like being selfish, the opposite of love in some ways. Half of all marriages end in divorce and even more are bad but don't officially end in divorce. Yes, of course if it is broken between one and one woman then having more women will only make it worse.

So if a guy is able to take care of the needs by 25 women, he is allowed to marry all of them? This logic is quite absurd and it will never work. Apart from the mental trauma for the women, it can also lead to a broken society. If the rich men marry multiple times, then the poor will be left with no available partners to marry. It can result in a lot of problems.

Bad things, like irresponsible drunks not being able to find wives? Women not getting in to relationships with abusive men because it's all they can get to try to have a family with?

I hope OP don't spread this thought in already overpopulated countries. Come on man. You don't have to marry someone to make her not feel lonely. You can just still be good friends. Anyway, if you're going to act on your thought, don't forget about family planning and contraception.

Not always. If the man already has more children from having more wives then he may not want so many children and so the number of children per woman would go down, which is how populations grow or shrink. Instead of 4 children with one woman, he may have 9 children with 3 woman, so 3 per woman instead of 4.

Should a woman be able to marry multiple men?

The push for gender equality would say yes, since men and woman are the same (except when they're different).

[nb1985]

The christian bible does allow polygamy. Genesis 4:19 is the first reference to bigamy in the bible, and most of the "kings" (David, Solomon, etc.) had multiple wives. Governments don't want to give tax benefits for multiple marriages, and the catholic church changed their mind on polygamy centuries ago and we are still affected by their decisions regardless of religion because of the long term governmental effects.

I think that it would be not good to do that as that would be against every tenet of the core of our society. We have always believed that here should always be one man and woman and also weare tying not ot overpopulate so quickly it would be very had to do that if you give man lots of women.

Democracy made it a crime to marry more than one woman. According to islam A muslim is only allowed to have more than one wife if he can take care of both equally.

[willmsnow]

Those who said against more than one wife. Answer one question.

Who would you like to see on your sister's bed every night? With a man who she is the second wife or with different men each night?

Yup!  Yet you fail to see the reality.  I get a wife, treat her like shit, make her eat my leftovers and get her a job in my cousin's factory for min wage.  When she gets her pay packet I rinse her for every cent she's earned.  It is also her duty to cook, clean, take care of the home and children while I sit around doing nothing.  Then I say 'I have met a girl and I'm going to take her as my next wife'.  My present wife will be glad that her work will be halved.  The new wife moves in, I get her a job at my cousins factory and repeat the process.

This is exactly what my Somalian neighbor was doing, he had 4 wives and planned on getting more.  Three of his wives had 3 kids each and they were all claiming Gvt support on all of them.  What he is doing fits perfectly with Sharia laws. 

Did you read what I said? The Somalian person you are talking about surely did not marry by obeying Quran. So all you said becomes invalid.
