Polygamy vs Monogamy (2 Viewers)

[gerhard]

Do you think polygamy should be illegal?


On the one hand you have a practice most people would find somewhat offensive, on the other hand you are legislating against a persons right to choose for themself.


Discussion pls

I don't see how it is worse than two fags getting married.

Of course they shouldn't illegalise it, just because some people dislike something doesn't mean you should make it illegal. If it harmed or afflicted society in any way then there would be an argument for it, but to pass a law on this is to basically control a sexual/romantic relationship that doesn't really affect wider society.

Um..don't you mean group marriages? As polygamy simply means to have several simultaneous sexual/romatic liasons(ie not monogamous) and from my understanding it was group marriages not polygamy that was prohibited by law.

Why shouldn't polygamy be illegal? Muslims have subsequent partners recognised as defactos, what more does anyone need?

yeah there is no point in making it legal but i still don't understand your insistance to place islam into every one of your sentances on BoS.. other ppl marry twice or even three times it's not based on religion.....

its cos he cant attack other religions, and we havent tried muting him yet.

Why don't Muslims make it legal for women to have 4 husbands at the same time?!?!

 

[Xayma]

ur a idiot wit no brain.. lets think why... hmm maybe because a woman is not mentally and physically as strong as a man and cannot support 4 husbands at a time! Muslim men are allowed to have 4 wives at a time because back in the days of the Prophet, when they used to have wars and many men would die etc.. women lost their husbands and in result became widows and had no one for financil support etc.. so other men who had enough wealth married them along with their other wive(s) to support them. Also.. some women cant have babies if u didnt know that since u dont have a brain... so their husbands to have children married another wife.. but all this is done under the permission of the previous wife... whether u lyk it or not.. men and women are DIFFERENT.. women CANT support 4 husbands at ONCE loser.. get lost..

Women aren't as mentally strong as males? Well I think you are the idiot with out a brain.

Given that I'm male, and you are female, my mental strength is higher so don't bother debating it, I will win.

You know some men can't have babies either. But all they can do is divorce the husband, not keep him while getting another.

I disagree - Polyandry is viable in certain environments and there are various reasons for doing so - if the mother must stay at home for various reasons then the father must leave to obtain goods/wealth/upkeep/whatever and if there are still insuffient resources in either parenting or goods/wealth/upkeep/whatever then the additional parent/partner could supply that - whether male or female. Additionally in olden times this was extremely beneficial as it meant community resources were pooled and more children would survive past infancy (which happened fairly rarely back then).

Partible paternity - that should be an educational read for you.

Shut the fuck up, infidel.

Wrong, physically men only tend to be stronger than women, there are exceptions. Also men having a stronger mentality is a generalization which you pulled out of your hairy arse which has no scientific merit what so ever.
The ability to “support” one another in a civilization depends on the economy, and ones place and hierarchy with in it, women can be just as industrious as men. I bet there are female millionaires out there who could just as easily support a thousand men. What does your backward religion say about that?

Muslim men are allowed to have 4 wives at a time because back in the days of the Prophet,

Doesn’t explain why Mohamed had more than double the nomiated amount, now does it.

when they used to have wars and many men would die etc.. women lost their husbands and in result became widows and had no one for financil support etc.. so other men who had enough wealth married them along with their other wive(s) to support them.

Then the rule should only apply to Widows who are unable to support themselves, which isn’t usually the case with your sexist religion. Also, if a woman can’t support herself, why must she betroth herself to a man? The man should support her out of charity and goodwill, not expect a slave for a wife in return.

Also.. some women cant have babies if u didnt know that since u dont have a brain... so their husbands to have children married another wife.. but all this is done under the permission of the previous wife... whether u lyk it or not..

Fair enough, but this isn’t the case for most multiple marriages now is it?

women CANT support 4 husbands at ONCE loser..

Go Islam! GO BABY GO! Destroy the initiative and productive will of all women, you are a barbaric tool, go hang yourself. My grandmother had to work non-stop on the farm and do factory work on the weekend to support her family after her husband was killed in WW2, for 15 years she made ends meet and raised 6 boys, 4 girls and her sick parents. Your religion is a disgrace to hard working women. Fo shame, FOO’!!!!

get lost.

Be gone with you, serpent of the desert.

I apologize to all rational people reading for creating this thread

Nobody tell syera to shutup, because (she?) is expressing the general beliefs held by practically all Muslims. Women = inferiour. It's what their religion tells the male dominated religion is right.. The "will" of Allah. Women also cannot hold any religious positions.. and up untill recently women had no chance in hell of holding any positions of authority ANYWHERE. In most muslims nations they still don't.

Women are seen by the men as baby machines. Spurting out kids 5 hundred at a time, which Allah also wishes them to do (to take over the world!), which is also exposed in syera's post that "the first wife might not have been able to have babies", as if to say that having babies is the only reason that a man would marry a women......

yay! Another thing for my signature

Marriage should be preserved as a religious construct, and civil unions being issued in a similar manner to defacto status as the social construct, without restrictions upon number, or sex, of partners.

 

[Xayma]

When i say not mentally as strong, i mean that emotionally women arent as strong and arent able to hold themselves together as well as men are able to... look men in Islam can have up to 4 wives.. thats how it is, you dont need to challenge it. Islam is not open for debate.

Well by the look of it you can't hold yourself together much at all. I fail to see any explanation of how men are able to hold themselves together better then women due to any biological construct rather then a social construct that teaches males and females to behave differently. Given that such attitudes are sexist (and society still does promote them to some degree, but they are sexist anyway) Islam could be considered a sexist religion.

I don't believe I treat women as objects of pleasure, if by that males take sexual advantage over them, then you obviously need to get out of your district and see that women are often treating men that way as well.
