So the answer is that you too, SK, do not believe polygamy is right or acceptable? So I am confused why you are constantly trying to defend the indefensible. Or is it right just to leave the polygamous to it, and leave God to judge.
"Sacrifice, true (that's the nature of polygamy: discouraged but permissible) but for gains also (that might outweigh that sacrifice) depending on each and every situation. Remember that the woman doesn't have to spend a penny from what she earns or that belongs to her, not for food, not for bills...nothing!"-SK
If that is all a woman is frightened of having to sacrifice, if that is all a woman cared about, then perhaps she would wholly deserve having to share her husband. But sorry to generalise, I would feel in most cases, this is not what she is scared of or cares about. Also, the first wife will have doubtlessly already shared all her belongings with her husband, she may not have to, but if you love someone, you share everything with them. And then would your arguement just be that Islam says the women doesnt have to, so its her own fault? So does it mean that no woman should ever fully give heself and everything she has to her husband for fear he eventually may get a second wife? If in times of hardship, should she keep her money to herself?
I'm afraid I'm not to into reading any other Islamic texts other than the Quran, but I doubt most Mulisms bother to study the Bible, so I don't feel too bad that I'm only sticking to the one book. If Muhammad was the last prophet, and the Quran is from God, then why look at books which were written by ordinary men? Meaning, at least the bible was written by many prophets and kings etc, people chosen by God, not to offend anyone, but surely advice from books after the Quran are only as useful as any modern theologian? Feel free to put me in my place at this point.
