Nature always select most appropriate, Darwin's natural selection theory has great importance in behavioral also. Liberal people will exist for long in comparison to conservatives. Liberalism can come only after the process of mentality broadening which is essential especially in middle-eastern areas.
Polygamy in arabian countries should not be acceptable. A woman not meant for entertainment and satisfaction.
Human should not be human just by having human DNA, it will be scientifically but not morally. Polygamy is hurtful process which means to kill woman's emotions by bounding her in web of religion and customs for showing so-called man dominancy. It should be ban everywhere for making a humanae world.

Interesting post, I found the website below regarding this issue which gives more background.

I am sure the situation will change at sometime in the future.

The following paragraph is extracted from the above website:-

All in all, the practice of polygyny or monogamy is viewed differently based on background, belief, religion, and faith. What may seem inhumane to us, may seem ordinary to them. What may seem ordinary to us, may seem immoral to them. Personally, I believe that an acceptance that our way isn’t always the right way would definitely help create the much needed cultural bridge between the East and West. Is there a right answer? Will the rise of Islamic feminism ultimately lead to the end of polygyny in modern Islam? Do we intervene for the sake of women’s rights? Or do we agree to disagree and let each culture have their own traditions?


Welcome to Mingle2 and good luck in your search

Very true. Women are to be treasured and celebrated for their individual selves and not to be collected as possessions. Those men AND women who choose polygamy, it is fine - as they all are ok with it. But NO ONE should be forced into it against their will. Women are SO much more than a man can ever be. While it takes a man and a woman to make a life - it is a woman who truly gives it. No man can ever compete or compare the strength of a woman.

I hope too! 'Darkness cant be permanent' I'm sure it will change in future.

Yeah, for defining woman, you need to know the definition of a mother. Its proud to be woman.

there are so many more cultural norms than our own, as others have said

the concept of 'love' is a movie line and its very important in some cultures ,, and particularly western culture believes you 'fall into it' and 'cant help it' , that its some surprise that sneaks up and attaches to you like a parasite,,,,,,and that's fine , but only one view


other cultures see love as something that grows and developes, something we actually do have choice in, and not necessarily something that should be a goal,, as much as compatibility and purpose



so for those latter cultures,, a marriage is about functionality,,,,, the husband provides for the family and the wife takes care of the family in all the other ways that don't involve money

so, to have several wives, to split up all those other things,, kind of makes sense from that standpoint



,,,,the only issue is if the participants are ok with it or are indeed trapped in something they don't want and were forced to do

Marriage is not a busines, its a commitment from soul to be honest for partner. Its not any game or show where number of participants will depend on the host. And i dont think any woman can feel good to share her husband.

That doesn't really mean anything from the perspective of human beings.
Ask the dinosaurs.
Nature "selected" their removal after how many millions of years on the planet?
Nature doesn't make selections in the time frame of people, or based on the sensibilities of people.


That can be dangerous thinking.
e.g. "Manifest Destiny."


This is a really bad statement to make.
Do you wear clothing?
In order to do so your ancestors had to have changed their attitude from running around naked.
Liberal. Open to change, freedom, new ideas.
But what keeps you continuing to wear clothes?
Being conservative.
Or do you go around naked some days, wear pants but no shirt the next, then a shirt and no pants the next day, all to figure out the "open minded to change" way that is best for you based on the weather?

Practical is the meeting point between liberal and conservative.

Practical will "exist for long in comparison to" conservative and liberal.


Not necessarily.
Conservative people, or regular not conservative not anything just people, practical or not, can label whatever they want as "liberal" even though it's in practical reality conservative.

I mean "A woman not meant for entertainment and satisfaction," can easily be "liberalized" into "a woman is meant for freedom, education, independence" that's still one group ascribing meaning to another group and coming to have expectations of their role.

Nothing has really changed except the definition.
In practical reality the only thing that will behaviorally changed is if one group has the old expectations then they're "bad," but if they force women to live along the new expectations, then they're "good."

That just greases the wheels to human interaction to keep a broken social group system going for a little longer.


Then we're screwed.
People marrying smart toasters in order to get out of alimony and palimony.
"Well, your honor, according to current laws if she resides with someone else for more than 3 years that's common law marriage...and based on current laws if she gets remarried I am no longer responsible for child support or alimony, and that smart toaster greets her when she gets home, provides food, texts her any problems right to her smartphone, it supports her, has it's own personality...it just doesn't have human DNA. So, I am owed back payment for having provided child support and alimony to a woman that's been married for a while, since being human is no longer dependent upon things like DNA. Plus, you might as well just give all those lions in the zoo 50 bucks and put them on a bus to a hotel, like prisoners, set them free. There has been no crime!"


Polygamy is a means by which rich people can more successfully pass on their genes in as successful a means as possible.
Polygamy is a natural extension to Darwin's theory of evolution from natural selection.
Those with access to the most resources, the means to gather the most resources, that support life, can have more progeny that survives.
