The thought that men are more than women is faulty. In China, there are 105 men for every 100 women. Would polygamous men not appear greedy in such a situation?

Of course, as Muslims the other options of gay marriage is not legit. But in a western society, like you have used as an example, where such marriages are legit, you may not entirely base their problem of inability to find partners on polygamy nor make it a solution to their problem.

#justsaying undecided
Not really.. There are few third world countries in which the male population is morethan female like India, do you know why? Because of female foeticide and female inventicide. In the case of China are they being greedy? Not really because we do know every man can't get married for so many reasons or perhaps might not be the case for them. Will it solve their problem? Yes because the only option remaining is either second or become public property. Rather than being mistress or what aview to these married men why not become a second wife and have equal and legal right with the first? Public property is degraded, dishonoured and doesn't have equal right with the married ones. It will help alot.

Are you wiser than the God that created you. Islam has solutions to all problems of this world.

Islam does not promote sexist behaviour, it is people who promote it. Christianity does the same thing, it states men are supposed to be heads of households.

3rd highest spending country in the world

8th largest GDP in the world that is continuously improving. They also have updated weaponry for their military (which we lack in Naija), and an ever growing economy India is far from a 3rd world country. What makes you say that it is?

She does not understand some Nigerians way of life, that is why she thinks feminism is the answer to all.

I agree that women should not be put down, but she may take it a bit too extreme.

Indeed they are, in fact many Indians are going back to India from the U.K. and the U.S. to help their country further develop. China and India are neck to neck right now and they are constantly competing.

Mtsheew.

Foolish question.

Look, just believe whatever you like about ratio of men to women, I am not interested in changing your views.

You'd better stick to rearing cattle if you know reading and writing is too much for you to handle.

See what I mean fellows...

We don't want our beautiful Nigerian women to act in this manner, it would make them far less desirable. This Belgian woman has issues

I can not believe you typed this.

There are more men than women. and that means that many of the men who WANT to marry may not be able to.

and you say that, some men should go ahrad and marry up to four as a way of solving their problem??

What I was driving at all along is the need to find other reasons for polygyny than it solving societal issues because it does not in many cases and even can be problematic in others.

If a woman decides she wants to be the one and only wife, it's her choice, she can add that to her pre nuptial agreement. people should not make her feel bad about it.

Marrying a 2nd wife does not prove that one is wealthy is jst what some people want,
but for me there is no point of taking a 2nd wife.

pickabeau1: its not surpirising it will not make sense to you... grin


However rather than being aggressive why not enjoy the debate... i expected more from you

In the scheme of human arrangements (6000 years), monogamy worldwide is a newbie and will not be up to 300 years at the most and that only in europe. In Africa and Asia it is less than 100 years....

You should open your mind and consider other world views from yours rather than spouting another person is not making sense...

Im not interested in making any woman guilty... but why!

As someone said, the so called married men having clandestine relationships are having it with women...and not goats!
go figure
