"I support polygamy,I am 2nd and LAST wife,I'll not let my husband marry again"..Isn't that hypocritical??

Question

..They say,women are taking away men's right for polygamy by asking them not to marry again(marriage contract)

But then again,they say they wn't let husband marry again,even when Islam permits 4 wives.

Isn't that hypocritical??

Answer 1

u know sometimes it becomes hard to understand islamic theory but apart from that on human ground i will say if u support polygame and now u don't let ur husband to do so says that this is hypocritical.

but i think it is natural because u don't want to share ur husband anymore ,u want the same amount of attentioin which u get from ur husband now but polygamy in itself is very complicated, think again!

Answer 2

No, not hypocritical at all.

I've been given to understand that men could be allowed more than one wife only, ONLY if they can afford to.

Yet, a few weeks ago, I read of the 9 year old in Yemen who got married, and HER FATHER had two wives, and his job?  He was a beggar.

So how could a man afford even one wife whilst as a Beggar?

I'd say something isn't right about the priorities of Islam.

Answer 3

If the wives of the Prophet SAWS shared a husband, then why should it be different for anybody else.

But the guy above is right, only if it can be afforded.

Answer 4

cutie, marry a good man.that is the solution.

in that case he will marry second or third in pressing situation.

Answer 5

yes it is.

that statement seems weird to me, the second wife seems selfish compared to the first, who seems more generous. the first wife obviously had to go through a difficult situation, with her husband marrying another wife, and then the 2nd wife won't allow her husband to marry again?

but yep, that is hypocritical.

Answer 6

well you have a right not to accept another wife.. but i don't understand how the other one doesn't bother you?

Answer 7

I understand that the female to male percentage is something like 49% to 51% (not that big of a difference when you think about it) WHY OH WHY can a woman NOT find a single man to marry? There are guidelines set for a man before he is able to take on more than one wife, such as financial security, the ability to treat all his wives equally and so on.

JUST FIND YOURSELF A SINGLE MAN! POLYGAMY WAS NOT MEANT TO BE A MANS RIGHT

btw - it is not hypocritical since a man has to ask each of his wives permission before taking on a new one. If his second wife says no then that is her prerogative

Answer 8

yes it is............ofcrs it is
