And the ground realities for women in polygamous relationships in Pakistan remain, she has to choose between the lesser of two evils. Either go through divorce and the social stigma (and life in uncertainty) that follows, or forcefully “consent” to being part of a polygamous relationship.

I think it would be more productive for us Pakistanis, especially those of us who are fortunate enough to be educated and better off financially than the common Pakistani, to concentrate on the plight of women in Pakistan, rather than what did or did not occur in 7th century Arabia. So we can help improve the social conditions for women in Pakistan.

My 2 cents in any case.

I agree.

Part of that is teaching the actual utility of polygamy and understanding it from an Islamic viewpoint. Once you understand it, you realize that it’s a very dicey topic and better to stay away from it. Most muslim guys who have a good understanding of it, and their faith, they don’t go for polygamy. They prefer to stay monogamous, because they take the verses in the Quran very seriously. Monogamy IS better for you.
