Should polygamy be legal

Answer 1

Most of Islamic countries recognises this sort of marriage (men having up to four wives) note (women cant have second husband at the same time its prohibited in Islam )in one condition if the second marriage conducts in consent of the first wife and there are legitimate reason to do so for example she is very ill and cant get pregnant or bear child or cant look after her self or her family or she is too weak because of an illness and she is agree that her husband should marry other women if she declines Islamic law prohibits second or polygamy. as Christian comet adultery as a result of adultery or having multiple partner people are in danger of contracting infectious and contiguous sexual transmuted diseases so I prefer polygamy than having 100s of illegitimate partner and regret for the rest of my life because of dieing from diseases such as HIV, syphilis etc. depends on what your beliefs are. if you think taht it is okay to have more than one spouse, then i don't see why not. i wouldn't becusae well you should find that ONE special someone and well as i said, it depends on what you believe and think

It is illegal in most countries, so it would not be OK. {| ! **Yes ! ! ! | ; Genesis 4 : 19 : And Lamech took unto him two wives. ; Genesis 16 : 1-4 : Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

Answer 2

It's not wrong. It's just illegal. Jacob, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon etc. were polygamists. And usually with polygamy, you won't get peace because households of more than two adults are increasingly difficult to manage harmoniously. It is often difficult enough for one married couple to pull it off successfully.

Answer 3

It can be or it cannot be.

Based on some sects of Islam and Morman religions, polygamy is a way of life. Many a man enjoys the fruits of the practice and it can be a very effective method for preserving your bloodline.

Based on the Model Penal Code, however, polygamy is a felony. You're only allowed, in the U.S.A., to marry one person. You may, however, have many mistresses and preform "marriage ceremonies" with as many women as you please.

It is commonly looked down upon, in common society, to be a polygamist.

Answer 4

What is OK from one person to the next varies from one person to another. However, in most states/countries polygamy is illegal.

Answer 5

No it should not. It is unethical and unnecessary.

Answer 6

Truly it depends on your opinion (whether or not you are Mormon). But most people would answer no because most people believe to be married to one person at a time.

Answer 7

I think it's wrong.

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

The answer is the same as the one to the question "Is monogamy a good thing?"
