Re: Multiple Wives
lemon, I think most women wouldn't do "everything" to please their husbands. There is a line. Part of a man's responsibility is to please a woman. But I think in our culture, and since polygamy is part of our religion (although not a mandatory or even encouraged part), muslim women are more likely than non-muslim woman to allow themselves to be treated like the dirt on the bottom of a man's shoe. Somehow they think its their religious duty, or they've been conditioned to think that they shouldn't stand up to abuse because they would be a bad wife, and hence a bad muslim. Lack of education about religion. I mean take a look at the replies. You have so many people thinking that its OK for a man to not take into account his wife's feelings and go ahead and engage in polygamy when he knows he's hurting his wife. People think that's somehow Islamic. Its horrible - we muslims have created these holes for ourselves because that's what we teach each other. Its okay to hurt other people.
