If polygamy were common in your country, would you take a second spouse? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I definitely would. That way one of them could work and one could take care of my kids. I would have kids with both of them. An excellent family arrangement.

You are out of your mind. Girls are jealous and insecure anyway. Could you imagine?

Mostly I just wanted to start a thread on polygamy, of course.

Now we're having fun rational debate about the topic. I hope that it can degenerate into trolling and namecalling, because fights about hypothetical polygamy would rule.

Well, the first few weeks could be fun. Just not sure if I would want sitting out a life sentense for it.
No more football...like ever!
No more escaping to go out, having a few drinks with the boys.
No more getting away with...well, anything.
Twice the dates to remember.
Two sets of inlaws.

Nah; I'll pass thank you wery much.

Not hypothetical.

I knew a woman who had a nice family with one son. Dad grew bored with the relationship and wanted out. Mom said 'OK, but don't move out. Our son needs both of us.'

Dad said OK, but before long he wanted his new girlfriend to move in. Mom said OK. So the whole menagerie moved into a three bedroom apartment.

Strange people, but the boy was well looked after.

Increase Your PM Length

In India , the criminal code is common to all citizens , but the civil code ( all non-criminal laws ) are different for different communities , because at the time of partition , the Muslims in India found the idea of a non-Sharia law unacceptable . Of course , it seems they didn't have the stomach for the criminal Sharia , so they went with the option of having a common criminal code but a commnuity/religion based civil code .

This means that if you're a Muslim , you are allowed to have four wives . So , if I convert from Hinduism to Islam , I am allowed four wives , all totally legal .

Not that I'm stupid enough to do it , just pointing out that the "if your country allowed" is not applicable for India .

What if you marry a second girl, then she marries a man who is married to another woman and man that neither of your first wives like?

youd have to find two feeble minded women to put up with it first, and then deal with every idiotic thing that happens second.

Polygamy can work, but not with a misogynist structure.

Certainly, you can not have two women - one for cooking and one for cleaning as Jaguar (hopefully) jokes.

But you could have three people wo love each other, and it deffinately does not have to be multiple women to one man.

It's not perverted. Perversion is something abnormal. It is not abnormal for men to desire more than one woman. Getting a hard-on from watching to chicks kissing is normal. Getting a hard-on from watching a chick dig in her nose is perverted.

The potential for disaster is so present, that I dare not even think of what all would happen. Either there would be a constant conflict between the two women and the kids from each of them or (and far far worse) they would cooperate so well with each other that I would be hopelessly outnumbered.
