From a man's point of view, polygamy is acceptable, actually, it's enjoyable. But if you consider the reverse side - sharing your wife with other men, then, I don't think I can handle it... So no, thanks, I'd rather be monogamous... -
I think that polygamy is wrong in most cases because in cults sometimes older men marry girls as young as 10 and abuse them so I personally think its wrong because people can get hurt on the outside and the inside to.-
I think this thinking is a little misguided. In many countries, even in monogamous marriage, young girls are forced to marry older men.
In any relationship, polygamous or monogamous, people can get hurt on the outside and the inside. -
I dont see that as polygamy, but rather as child abuse! multi partner marriage between consenting adults who enter into it freely without outside pressure or influence, is cool if that is what rocks your boat!

So long as all involved are consenting adults, I have no problem with it. If you think about it, a polygamous household has an advantage from an economic standpoint: one spouse can stay at home with the children, all the others can provide income.

Agreed. As long as we are referring to consenting adults I have no problem with it. What I do have a problem with is how government and police invaded polygamous communities in America and BC on the basis of suspicion and the complaint of one 15 year old girl.
They seized hundreds of children and infants in American and in Canada. They DNA tested them and then finally after putting the kids and their moms through all that trumped up trauma, the police gave the children back and admitted they had absolutely no evidence to lay any charges on. There was no evidence of child abuse. The females concerned were all above the age of sexual consent.

we live in a free world, if this kinda relationship is between consenting adult without religious obligation that's ok with me
forced polygamy for religions reason is obviously absurd in my eyes.
i recommend a great tv series about polygamy hBO : Big Love-
I agree.
Consenting adults and no religious component or compulsion = OK in my eyes.
I wouldn't do it or be a party to it, but I'm not into imposing my personal choices on others. -
we can see this as a help network, people living together and help each other and give to themselves a better chance to access their goals.
I see no religious polygamy as a group of individuals trying to achieve the same goal, i mean 1 man 3 womens as example: they all working and getting salaries that could be a good way to buy luxurious house and built a strong community and familly!

I can't understand why anyone would put themselves through this volunteerily. It doesn't sound very fun sharing your partner with someone else, seems like the only one benefiting is the one not sharing. It just doesn't appeal to me at all. So I guess it not the lifestyle for me!
-
It involves two parties. It's the fault of the man just as the fault of the woman. -
Hey a person is not a $100 bill so anyone can like him or her. Nobody is perfect so one is looking. That's not fun it's actually sad because it means that you haven't found the right person. But once you've found the special person you are not dead you know? How can still look compare and find out what's best that's the most important thing. Because you are not a $100 bill...
(finding the one is most important not how you go about it) -
One would be late for work just for saying good-bye (Bye, honey, honey, honey, honey ... ).-
@friday... only you would think of that!

I personally, being married and all, think that anyone who wants more than one wife at a time has to be just asking for it! -
Each to their own, I don't think it would ever truly work where everyone is completely happy, I don't think people would want to share their partner for too long before jealousy kicks in. -
To agree with a law against polygamy or to label it wrong etc is an incredibly silly and unenlightened way to be, IMO.
If people are happy to share a marriage with more than one other person then who are we to say that it is wrong or dysfunctional? With such a diverse range of people in the world, there are bound to be people who find that polygamy makes more sense and is more user friendly to their way of life than a conventional 2 partner marriage.
Honestly discussions like this, or about gay marriage etc are just a great waste of time (I am currently overwhelmed with free time, hence I am happily here wasting some of it) We live in a world with some very serious issues, some of which have cause tremendous strain, and hurt for far too long, that is where we need to focus our collective focus. So let people screw who they want, marry as often as they want, basically have the freedom to enjoy themselves, and drive our focus towards issues that are selfishly causing real harm to our societies. i.e religious fanatics, corrupt business, shady politics and the onslaught against our civil liberties! -

does polygamy suck?

Why do i have only one passport... why not two of them... why cant i go to school as a student again ...why cant i celebrate my fifth birthday again .... why do i have to settle my phone bill by tomorrow.... why do i have only few bucks in my wallet... jeez.... why do i have only one job but not two... cuz if i had two jobs... i would have earned more... yeah but you are restricted to do certain things more than once in life... birth is one such thing.. Death is one… Marriage is another...are you sure …. Well you can marry several times in life... i mean you marry one person.. divorce him and then marry again... but what about a person marring several times simultaneously.... well that’s something to think about... if everything in life has limits... what about the number of marriages a person can have.. is there any certain number on that? i have no idea... but i think that's something to think about... so this time my blog is all about multiple marriages.. Interesting isn’t it.. i know... but today I’ll be only discussing about multiple marriages among men... so it's all about polygamy...
I'm sure you might wonder whether don’t i have any other things to write about... well i do.. but this sounds special.. So what is polygamy all about.. is it a sin... I’m sure most of you would think that it's just only practiced among Muslims... hell no... it's just something practiced by men all around the world... so what's the big deal about it.. What is polygamy? Polygamy is the situation in which one man is either married to or involved in sexual relationships with a number of different women at one time…but not together on one bed but in different locations……now I am I elaborating it too much… I don’t care… This is the most common form of polygamy...in a nut shell it’s all about having one ... two.. Three ... four ... five... six or more wives...
Polygamy is encouraged in African countries where leaders in such countries encourage multiple marriages to increase the population.. The number of women becoming the secret second wife is ever increasing in Asia too.. In Mongolia there has been discussion about legalizing polygamy to reduce the imbalance of the male and female population.. Polygamy is considerably more widespread among Hindus in Nepal than in India. In Hong Kong they say that a wife is not as good as concubine, concubine is not as good as prostitute, prostitute is not as good as secret affair, secret affair is not as good as the affair you want but can't get.. how bad is it man? According to Theravada Buddhism, polygamy is discouraged and extrametrical affairs are considered sinful. It is said in the Parabawa Sutraya that "a man who is not satisfied with one woman and seeks out other women is on the path to decline". But surprisingly almost all the Buddhist kings in India/sri lanka have had so many wives…. I’m not taking about one or two... cuz I’m talking about hundreds of them... talking about India, in Ramayana, father of Ram king Dasharath has three wives.. so talking all this information in to account allmost all the countries and religions have their share in polygamy... so is it a sin... is it ok... i have no idea... why do men get involved in polygamy... is it something to do with the biological structure of men... our men not satisfied with one women... well if that was the case why do we have so much of brothels in the world... I see… so there is a need for it... so is polygamy the answer for it.... i have no idea.. But looking at the major religions of the world such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam most of the prominent personalities in those scriptures are polygamists... what? You’re kidding? No... I’m not kidding…So is it ok to have more than one wife? i have a doubt...do you know about Moses, do you know about Abraham, Do you know about Solomon... all these prophets have had more than one wife... even prophet Muhammad have had more than one wife... So is it ok to have more than one wife... and is there any limit for it... how many is too many... can i marry fifty women... at least five.... So are these religions encourage us to marry more than one women... i have no idea... now its clear that its not only Muslims who are polygamists but everyone... has God approved polygamy... well as far as i know.. Yes you are allowed.. Otherwise those so called prophets of God would never marry more than one women...
So why are these religions encourage on polygamy but not Polyandry.. Well that i remain you to think... so think wisely... as far as I know according to Islam, the religion encourages a man to marry one, two, three or four but only if you can deal with your wives justly... otherwise stick with one wife... why dose it say that way...why have Islam put a limit on men... four... but if you look at the contemporary world it's really hard to survive with one women.. so Islam does encourage us to marry only one women.. but you can go for four women only if you could deal with justly... god know about human... specially men…god knows about the needs of men... so no wonder god has permitted men to marry more women.. so if you think that you could deal justly with more than one women... marry that women and give her the due recognition in the society.. Be courage’s enough to accept her as your legal wife... marry the widow.. marry the poor... give those neglected women a new life... So my dear male readers, if you're filthy rich dont waste it in vain, marry widows, divorced women, barren women and spend on them and thier children... cuz even women who our in prostitution use that money to feed her family....so for me polygamy seems to be the solution for prostitution... at prostitution you pay for a women for couple of hours and leave her away in hell... but in polygamy you give the right of a legal wife to a another women and sleep with her... let me put it in another way..... prostitution is all about sex, sex and sex... but in poligamy sex is only a small part of it... it's all about family, love, children, recognition for women and treating women equally.. So if you think I’m nutts today…I have no words to say…. please don’t get upset... cuz it might sound stupid... but when you think deeply it is something to think about ... cuz there are so may men out there who are against polygamy but sleeps with every other women they meet and call them bitch’s.. how unfair is that? -
Too expensive if the women are not working. As long as you can afford the Brady Bunch.
