Polygamy And Polyandry Friend Or Foe

Posted by Extra, Dec 31 2009, 11:59 PM

Polygamy (one man having more than one wife).... Polyandry (one woman having more than one husband).

What is your take on polygamy and polyandry?
Why do women or men agree to be involved in a polygamous marriage?
Can polyandry ever be recognised your society?
Would you as a woman or man take part in polyandry?

Thank you for choosing to blog here and do enjoy the debate...

Rukanira Jimmy: I think most of our married people man and woman could accept to share and allow their partners to practice polygamy as our president Jacob Zuma did, we could decrease prostitute and AIDS, and mens will stop having partners around. but remember it's for those who can manage to have more than one. what is your say? from our facebook page

Any Salan ...and what about religion? How do you justify that? I mean,, if you really think about it, polygamy is not the solution. Have you ever considered government policies, incentives, that sort of thing?? from our facebook page

Quite interesting cooments from jimmy and Salan. i feel A little more exploration is required though to get a more detailed indeepth of the topical issue. But all in all, i feel any one who calls himself or her self a christian, shouldn't look at polygamy as an appealing practice. And Jimmy if are to fight HIV and AIDS polygamy should be the least tool to use.

interesting views... but why does polygamy always end up with religion? President Zuma for example said that his practise is totally cultural... what is your view on that

Rukanira Jimmy: about religion let's select 2 religions. Judaism and Christianity.
In judaism: it's notable that most of the old testament prophets were polygamous. according to the old testament, Abraham "the friend of God" had more than one wife, David had one thousand wives, and Salomon is even said to have had 700 wives and 300 concubines. so if polygamy is ... See Moreimmoral per se, then these and other leadings figures in the Biblical traditions are immoral. IN this case they will be no sanctity attached to the bible.

In christianity: As the old testament is a vital part of the christian faith, it cannot be disregarded in this matter. it was concerning the old testament laws and the old testament prophets that Jesus said plainly that he come not to destroy the law or the prophets but rather to fulfill. in addition there's no passage in a new testament that prohibit Polygamy. from our facebook page

Love Destiny: so ur sayin that if a wife want 2 have 10 husband if she want she can go for it,the same 4 the husband?and u really think that will stop prostitution and hiv?i dont think so.what we need is education,humans always want what they dont have,what we need is more men or women refusing advances from maried people.a man will see a young girl he will go and mary and few years later he will see a better one.never satisfied.... from our facebook page

Rukanira Jimmy: the problem of women to have 10 husband is. who is going to be the father of the children if you have more than one man? a man will be satisfied if the government allow them or give them a chance. I remember on those years where our grand fathers were staying without the law which forbid them from getting 2 or more than one wife,, why they was no prostitution or Aids, and now they stop allowing a man to get more than one is the worse. what do you think? from our facebook page

Love Destiny: sorry my brother,in africa men can still mary more than 1 woman if they want 2,but yet they are not satisfied.is nature of men.u need 2 remember prostitution is the oldest job in the planet and it came because of men complainin about their wife not givin them enough.the only way to stop all of this is to make people blind,which is not possilbe. from our facebook page

Rukanira Jimmy: if men are complaining that their wife are not giving them enough is because they are not allowed by the law to get one extra that is why they go for prostitutes or girl friends out of marriage. just for the seek of respecting the so called law. How many country do you thing they allow men to have more than on wife? from our facebook page

Love Destiny: most country in africa do.and muslims all over the world still mary more than 1, not in registry office but in a religious way,i have seen men with 5 wifes in africa and yet they still cheat on those 5.so i think there is no solution 2 that.like i said b4,we need 2 educate our people,specialy young females,to stop running after men 4 money.and people should refuse advances from maried peope,that will help alot. from our facebook page
