If most men that you know want to be with more than one woman, it is a reflection of your community. if a religion is built around that or even sactions that behavior, it doesn’t make the pratice right and certainly makes the religion suspect. On top of that. if that same religion makes that a one way street, as in islam where polygamy is sanctioned but not polyandry, then it is discriminatory and barbaric.

As I said before, this may have been necessary in the desert at that time but is no longer an allowable sanction and needs to be rectified.

Most men wanting to be with more than one woman does not prove anything about a community or a religion. It’s just nature of men in general. But Islam puts so many restrictions on such men that it is virtually impossible for an ordinary person to have multiple wives. We are talking about ‘wives’ and not mistresses or girlfriends you see. Marriage for men in Islam is not just about sleeping with different women but it is about taking responsibility of the family giving another woman you name, status and because men are made to take financial burden of the house and be good to family so in Islam, it’s not easy to get away with such acts. Polygamy is not a foursome my friend. Think practically and you’ll know the whole concept. Most Muslim men stay committed to a single wife all their life, why? because Polygamy is a headache!
