how many believe its wrong to have more than one wife?

Question

or husband-?
is this a religious thing or do you think its is something that is no ones buisness?---thats my thoughts but would like to hear what others say-thanks for any answers-smile and enjoy the night

Answer 1

I say as long as everyone is OF AGE and all willing participants then go for it. Who am I to judge?

Answer 2

Not sure what I believe about the religious perspective...I've never searched for an answer to this question...probably because polygamy is illegal in the United States so it isn't an issue for me.

Personally, I kind of like the idea of being the wife of a man that has more than one wife. In my experience, men are needy, demanding creatures and there's something appealing of having another woman around to share some of the burden of trying to satisfy one. The concept is especially appealing if the other woman (or women) have complementary gifts and skills...I'm a good cook but I hate doing it...I'd glady exchange housekeeping for providing a source of income or even the handyman/gardner role.

Answer 3

It's very wrong to be married to more than one woman. God wanted man to find a mate and settle down with only her. I just heard a news story the other night where this guy switches from one woman to the other, and he has at least 5 or more wives. I would never put up with that from any guy. God says in the Bible that man shouldn't be alone, so he made a woman to be her partner. The husband shall leave his parents and cleave to his wife for the rest of there lives together, in sickness and health, for richer and poorer, to love and cherish until death departs us. God never said in the Bible that it's perfectly alright to have as many wives as you would like. It's called aldultery if a man has another afair with another woman other than his one wife. This is called monogamy, and there should be a law against it.

Answer 4

Individually has his/her own reasons:As a muslim,i do know some disagree(non-muslims),but for me it's not wrong.My point is;having 4 wives,is preventing your husband in commiting adultery.Adultery in the Bible is one of the ten commandments,and so in our Holy Qur'an!

One more good reason,you can have legal children in the other wife/wives.Let me ask you,how many illigitimate
children today?How many children having mental disorder because of no unstable family?Fighting in schools or anywhere because they are illigitimate.This is the one main problem today.How can you prevent it?Doing the right things sometimes,you have to sacrifice.Don't be a selfish,esp.if it regards our children;because they are the future.

But before a muslim man get marry for the first time,or until the forth,he must have the means!

Answer 5

I think if all parties are consenting adults.....hey, have a whole flock. Its when you start messing with the children, I have the problem. Yeah, it is noone's business how many wives or husbands you have, sometimes I even think it works better to have more than one wife.....women don't like sex as much as men, and its helps to have other women take up the slack. Plus, more incomes in the household, and more people to do housework and take care of the children. Not to mention, other women to keep you company. I would do it, only if I wasn't madly in love with the guy.....because then, there is the jealously thing.

Answer 6

Marrige is outdated and serves no purpose. It is just a contract that assures a woman that she automatically gets half of your hard earned assets.

I can live with someone without marrying them and be just as happy. Alot of people i know feel this way as well.

But to answer your question, I think monogomas relationships are good. i think that polygimy can also be good but is frowned upon typically for religious reasons and certain society views.

Answer 7

I think it's bad not because there is more than two people in a relationship, but many religions or cultures that have polyandry have other habits that are worrying. Like the subjugation of women by many moron sects, and marrying off teenage girls against their will.

Answer 8

I wish I lived on a Tropical Island filled with hundreds of tall, Muscular, beautiful, Masculine perfectly well built designed HETEROSEXUAL men.
A woman like me can never have to many husbands.

Answer 9

I do and if I remember correctly when we were taking our vows the man said "do you take this woman". He never said "do you take these women". I believe we are to have just one wife/husband. I don't think I could handle sharing my hubby with another woman/wife.

Answer 10

I think it is absolutely nobody's business. If everybody involved in the relationship is of age, and consenting, and everybody pays their taxes and takes care of their own, I don't see why it's wrong to have as many wives or husbands as you want. It doesn't hurt me if somebody wants to have six wives, not at all. Sometimes I'd like my hubby to have another one...that would get me off the hook sometimes in certain matters. ; )

Answer 11

Marriage was made for ONE man and ONE woman. Polygamy goes against that, so I do disagree with it. Besides, why would you want to share your husband/wife with other people?
