Re: Men who are not against polygamy
The quote below on another thread is the perfect way to describe how I feel about polygamy:

I’m not “against” polygamy…it’s just not for me. If a man wants to have a 2nd wife and if his 1st wife is ok with that…then that’s great for them. But I’m not ok with MY husband having another wife.
Yes Islam does allow men to have upto 4 wives. But as far as I know, nothing in Islam says that I have to accept it and can not divorce my husband if he takes on a 2nd wife. It’s his Islamic right to get a 2nd wife and it’s my Islamic right to ask for divorce if I’m not happy in the marriage.
