Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

Deeba, you do know I was being sarcastic right? He is just saying this nonsense to get you guys fired up. Do you guys honestly believe half the stuff he has said on here?

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

I find the concept of multiple partners quite disturbing. Apart from the threesome fantasy with your favourite actresses of course.

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

WHY would any woman become a second or third wife unless either she is totally undesirable and knows that she can't do any better OR the man is filthy rich that any woman would consider being his second wife.
it's hilarous how all these average pakistani guys are considering beautufil arab women as their second wives

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

^Exactly :D

JazzyJazz, I couldn't tell lol.. I've read some seriously weird stuff on these forums (current favourite being polygyny is needed because there are apparently 10 times as many females in the world as males right now)..

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

Whatever whatever, same old typical bs from the crusty old crowd.

Alhamdullilah I am Muslim, and in Islam Allah has said there is nothing wrong with having more than one wife, as long as you can support them financially, nothing wrong with it at all.

Who is to say something is wrong, when Allah SWT has allowed it???

I use to be like one of those Muslims who tried to make Islam fit into some Western paradigm, but thats bs, Islam is beautiful and logical, there are reasons things are allowed and not allowed.

You can say you "dislike" the idea of being a 2nd wife, but to go out an say its wrong or whatever, that's just total bs, if you are a Muslim, you can't say that.

My wife even doesn't say its "wrong" she just feels uncomfortable with the idea, but I'll work on that.

Why not have a 2nd wife? So many pretty young girls from pooer Muslim nations (Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kazakstan etc..) can't find husbands, why not give her a home and take care of her? I'd love to do that inshalla.

Instead of having affairs and other bs like that, why not do it in a healthy way, do a nikah giver her a good mehr, give her respect. Islam is all about being practical and pious at the same time.

BTW I would not myself exist if this were not the case, my paternal great grandmother was the 2nd wife of my paternal great grandfather, as this was a common custom amongst Afridi Pashtuns.

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

Ha, my wife is from Amman, most people there are actually of Palestinian decent.

However Jordon is kinda poor compared to Qatar etc...I mean we do have an affiliate in Amman, but you would not make anything like you'd get in Doha.

Our Doha affiliate is booming.

Edal!! You're back! On Halloween, how fitting!! I missed you, dude; no else makes me use exclamation marks the way you do.

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

^^^ dude im giving out candy and posting here at the same time..

I'm almost out might have to run to Wal Mart again in a bit

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

You multitasker, you.
We only had a few kids come round, I told them to go get jobs. From the looks I got, you'd think I'd killed Bambi.

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

Dude that's harsh, its just for the little kids. All year they wait for it, spend time on their costumes, that's mean man.

Anyway Halloween Mubarik to all Gushupers.

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

Ha, you're too easy. :P

Happy Halloween.

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

I just find men who have mutliple wives to be extremely disgusting and gross. any man who has multiple sexual partners at the same time is totally disrespectful.
secondly, its so hard to believe that beautiful arab women are lined up for these average pakistani men who are not even rich or goodlooking. hilarious. most guys here on this forum are still single and arent even able to find 1 wife and then we have some guys who claim to already have gotten beautiful women and may get even more. what a joke man.. trolling at its best.

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

You would know sweetheart. You are an inspiration.

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

Not everyone is saying it is wrong, we just aren't comfortable with it. Financial is the easy part, its just numbers. Emotional equality is hard to give. Allah SWT allowed it but doesn't encourage it, but monogamy is encouraged. Allah SWT also said that no man can be equal when dealing with more than one wife, but if he thinks he can its between you two.

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

It's even funnier that the guys making out they can/will get multiple wives can't even manage the basics (eg separate home) for one wife, how exactly are they going to look after and pay for the others?

The idea that these amazing, beautiful Arab women would even consider Desi guys like that is a joke.. 99% of them will run a mile (as well as their families saying 'no way' to a guy who would like their daughter to live with his parents - a BIG no in Arab culture).. The only women who prob would be up for it would be those who are** refugees or v.poor or desperate..** in which case the men can do what a lot of them do when they go back to Pakistan - just wave around their US/UK/European passports.. If these men really believe a non-desperate Arab woman would look twice at them otherwise they're totally delusional..

Also, a lot of Arabs look at Desis the way a lot of Desis look at Black people. Obviously it's not right but they see most Pak/Indian guys** (unless u have the looks of John Abraham or the bank balance of Lakshmi Mittal)** as 'below' them..

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

^^^ Well I have heard that from Pakistanis who use to live in the Mid east. The racism thing. But maybe it has to do with the fact that a lot of Pakistanis are laborers in rich Arab countries, so get looked down on. I have even heard it from non gulf Arabs who lived in Arab states.

But growing up in America, I never felt or heard anything like that, I mean most of my best friends who were with me through everything, were Lebanese, or Palestinans etc..who were born or immigrated to the States. In America we get along pretty well.

Also who is talking about only marrying Arab women?? and esp those from the gulf? Eww, the nice ones tend to be from Lebonan, Syria Palestine etc..tend to, just from what I have seen.

You just sound bitter.

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

True that! Why is that individual even on this forum? Not even muslim or even from Pakistan, Just "desi this desi that" trying to subtly insult the traditions of Islam. Also suffers from low self esteem.

Sorry I dont consider myself as having anything in common with you, as a Pashtun I have more in common with some non desi from kabul than some Hindu "desi" from Banglore, and yeah MisTY you are right, no one is gonna go out with dudes or girls from your city.

But Pasthun men are known for their good looks and well built stature, its legendary. Please don't lump us with you, we have nothing to do with each other.

Alhamdullilah, I have never had a problem getting chicks.

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

The ones who are brought up outsideof the ME tend to be different, just like young Desis who've been brought up outside their countries of origin. My best mate is Lebanese (but born and brought up in the UK) and a lot of my closest friends are Arab ('pure' and mixed), like Desis they can be quite snooty about skin colour (tho they esp love grey/blue eyes).. Lebanese tend to be the most liberal and Iranians are quite open-minded as well (but then there's the obvious Shia 'problem') whilst the Saudis and Kuwaitis are by far the worst..

If u are planning to move their daughter in with ur parents and brothers or sisters the vast majority of Arabs, no matter which country they're from, will see u as an absolute joke cos it's something that is absolutely not done in their societies unless there is a desperate need.. It would be the equivalent of a Pak guy sending a proposal to a Pak girl and telling her family he plans to house her in his car :D Again seeing as tho u reckon ur married to an Arab really u should know this stuff..

Why would I be bitter? Most Desi guys aren't exactly considered a 'catch' by other races.. I read somewhere that on one of the big dating websites there was a survey that showed that Desi men and Black women were the least in demand or likely to find a match. Sad but true :(

Re: Why don't most all Muslim Men use their god given right of Polygamy?

You are bitter, what is your father or Grandfather then? Their Desi (unless you are not, then im sorry for the assumption). What you are doing is self hatred. That is what I meant.

But the reason for that is prob cause "Desi" will include Bangladesh, India Sri Lanka too, that kinda brings em down LOL.

That's why I'm just kinda glad I am Pashtun, we tend not to have that sterotypical "Desi" look, he he.

But man it doesn't matter its all bs, in America Pakistanis, Arabs Afghans, Iranians, their all classified as "brown" whether they want to be or not. So who cares, to white people we're all the same more or less.

My brother married an Iranian, my wife is Palestinian, my Mamoo is married to a Mexican lady, whatever, the world is mixing now, no one cares anymore.

Quran said that , Allah made us into diff tribes and races so we could know each other, and the best person in the sight of Allah is one who is most pious.

Don't be ashamed to be brown Deeba, or think of your race or whatever ethnicity you are as lower than anyone else, anyone who looks down on anyone due to race has self esteem issues, and a person who looks down on you due to race is not worth your time.
