  • If polygamy were common in your country, would you take a second spouse?

    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.

    Spoken like a man who's never been in a relationship.

    Two women...

        Gah. I suppose that's right.

        If one thought you liked the other one better....

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

            I could see it working with two men and two women maybe...

              Yup, it's called traditional marriage.

                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.

                  Nah; I'll pass thank you wery much.

                    You'd definitely need a second guy to fill in.

                        It sounds cool.

                        But I don't think I would have the administration skills or the energy levels.

                          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.

                            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?
