To be more objective, I don't think it's wise for an active Premier League Footballer who's at the peak of his career ( an attacker for that matter) to practice polygamy. it may be too demanding to handle two women and still train effectively, if he's not careful, this will have negative effect on his career .

Of course I agree with you as an active football buff. However that's a different dimension to the issue. We're merely interested in the socio-cultural context of the issue, especially against the backdrop of the wife's (and many female commenters') irrational discontentment with her NORTHERN MUSLIM husband's decision to marry a second wife.

I would have you know that "christian means christ-like", or "follower of christ". So a christian is a follower of Christ. Jesus christ didn't call himself a christian because he cannot follow himself.

have not see any Christian following Jesus. most Christian are following there pastors

Enlighten me please

Lekan1o1:


So which means after this one he go marry another one..

yes naa. He can marry up to 4women. His religion allows it.

He's just abandoned the wife of his youth... Hmmm

yepa:


I am not a fan of polygamy but can you show me where it is written in the Bible that a man can't marry more than one wife.I would really appreaciate if this can be done.

Even the bible said 'a word is enough for the wise' So when the same bible says ' a man shall leave his parents to marry a wife and they shall live together as one " The bible does not have to spell it all out for you cos if you add another woman, then you are living together as how many?

Which one again is endured?? He is a Muslim and his religion accepts multiple wives but d lady was jealous and did not want him to do d right thing as a devoted Muslim. Had it been d first wife is a Christian it would hv bin a different ball game.

God is a jealous God. He doesn't like it when attention meant for him is devided. He doesn't like being jealous. He hates the feeling.

What kind of a God who experts us to do what he himself cannot stand?

So, polygamy being permissible in Islam is a total misogynist idea that was created by men for a man's gratification and has nothing to do with God.

Amberon:
How does this relate to western women and why insult them? Are you alright?

If they insult your religious doctrine you will begin strapping bombs and beheading people, why then are you insulting western women because of their religious doctrines that supports monogamy.

Which Ideology are the Christians following? Western culture. So keep shut.

Gaddafithe2nd:
Well done Musa Ahmed, you are a good man and a good muslim. You detest cheating that is why you followed the Islamic doctrine of getting married to another wife since you are capable to do it financially and physically.
As for his ex-wife, she is the loser. Once you are muslim lady, you can never compel your husband to marry only you. Is only a selfish muslim lady/woman that would go against what almighty Allah says in the Quran. All other muslim ladies should learn from this. I don't know why our muslim women are now selfish like their western counterparts.

Only women are selfish for not agreeing to have co-wives, abi?

Men are angels for not considering the feelings of the first wives. What do you call doing something against your partners approval and knowing well that they don't like it?

NOETHNICITY:
I swear to God, I ve a former neighbor, staunch Catholics, Ibo by tribe, he is married to 2wives.
Both wives re Catholics.
The man was excommunicated then, though I don't know as of now if he is still a Catholic

His Catholicism is just by birth. He is still a practicing Catholic. One of the marriages is definately not recognised by the Church. Or even both marriages. I can tell you, he may have not tied the knot in the Church.

irynterri:
no oooo,maybe the cool ones,most of the ones in the north will marry up to four (the rich ones),the poor ones will marry one or two,when they want a new one they will divorce one and marry another,so they will only be married to one or two at a time but they would have married up to 8 by the time they clock 60,as for the kids na almajiri straight

Jeez.. I never knew

Laykaynite:


"is that what you define as flex?... I think their religion makes it easy for them in order to avoid extra marital affairs and I think it's better than fornicating "

They still have extra marital affairs, or don't you know?
Even if 100 wives is the case, who wants to have other concubines will have, nothing stops them.

Na illitracy dey worri musa, educated muslim hardly marry 2 wives.

The kind of comments I see on this thread gives me goose pimples. Chai! The way some guys reason ehn, it makes me wonder. Lord have mercy! As for the new wife, yours is coming soon, you definitely won't be the only wife because their religion permits it and as you have done unto others, so it shall be done to you.

Yeah. As i said, may the Lord guide us right.

Gaddafithe2nd:

So, your woman will be the one to decide who to marry or not. For Musa getting married to a christian lady he hasn't gone against his faith.

EazyMoh:

That's what you are still mixing. You are to only give them equality on what you have control over, not what you don't.
Even among your children you are bound to love one more than the rest, there is no problem in that. But the moment you send him/her to expensive private school and send the rest to community schools that is treating them unequally! And that is injustice!

Sahih Bukhari (62:6) "the prophet used to go round (have sexual relations with) all his wives in one night and he had nine wives
Prophet Mohammed (SAW) was just to special my brother, infact he was said to have the sexual strength of 30 men!!!
A clause is a clause, Islam clearly allows polygamy but with a clause for justice, fairness and equity
That clause na wa!

Amberon:
If you're a christian who studies the bible then you should know the bible strongly condemns adultery which is a sin if sexual immorality/promiscuity.

Pray tell, where did the bible support polygamy?

It does not matter whether i am Christian or an Atheist,just answer the simple question.I do not have to commit adultery before marrying a second wife !!!Learn to respond to questions without being biased or sentimental.Thanks.

phranq:


Doz Islam support marrying more dan one wife? Should any wife of a Muslim man be against her husband's decision to take another wife??

yea islam supports polygamy. she has every right to decide what she wants. islam respects women and a chapter of the quran, an nisa, is dedicated to women. alot of the instructions given to men in that chapter ia to be respectful and be fair to women.

an nisaa is translated as THE WOMEN.

Amberon:
You initiated this by telling us christianity permits such, it is your duty to provide proof. When youre done, i will then provide counter proof.

you can read the arguement i agree with, here. if you have a counter point, let me know and i will come answer to the best of my knowledge of sacred scripture and sacred tradition as well as divine revelations

I wont read your links. Post the verses where adultery is permitted in the bible or forever hold your peace.

Lol....no wonder. I see you're a Muslim. Always trying to justify your wayward doctrines by forcing them on Christianity.

Islam respects women? Hahaha... Joke of the century. Rape, paedophilia, polygamy, wife beating are all prescribed for you. Focus on your religion of bombers.

Foolery and delusion of grandeur.

So you mean prophet Mohammed was "just too special" because he went around having sex with his 9 wives in one night?

What sane human makes a paedophile sex-maniac a role model. The only prophet without a prophecy. No wonder y'all strap yourselves to bombs in the hopes of getting 72 virgins in jannah with an eternally diick.

My religion condemn any act of terror. It's not a practice, talkless of common practice, and who are even the most victim of the bombing?

calm down!!
Try get grounded on the Holy Quran
Try get grounded on basic anatomy and physiology
Try learn some manners
Try add some self discipline to your character
Then you might perhaps be able to respect other people's faith even if the are a direct opposite of yours
PS i am a Christian don't let the moniker mislead you cos even in the Christian faith there are grey areas I have learned to see as white simply because God's ways are higher than ours just as the heavens are distant from the earth.

Did your prophet Mohammed not promise to cast terror into the hearts of unbelievers? Didn't he behead and kill over 900 non- muslims simply because they were Muslims? Didn't he spread Islam through jihad ( killing of unbelievers?)

You can't quote what suit you and make it a reason to you. Islam is not a religion that someone will choose the part that suite him followed. why don't you consider this verse. “Whoever kills a person [unjustly]…it is as though he has killed all mankind. And whoever saves a life, it is as though he had saved all mankind.” (Qur’an, 5:32).
As for the marriage that some of you saying Christianity prevent taking morethan one wife, what can you say to this "Polygamy is explicitly not forbidden in the Old Testament. The Torah includes a few specific regulations on the practice of polygamy,[2] such as Exodus 21:10: "If he take another wife for himself; her food, her clothing, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish" source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygamy_in_Christianity. Does that implies some of you are ignorant of their religion, selective, or selfish on religion prescription?

ImaIma1:


Except you have personally taken the statistics and have come to the exact conclusion that every man cheats in his marriage, if not, speak for yourself alone

No need deceiving ourselves. Pastors, Imams, Religious leaders all cheat in this naija. Of course it is impossible for EVERYONE to cheat. The staggering number of men that do makes it a good assertion. The Nigerian men that don't cheat fall into two categories : Those that are too shy and don't have the balls (They would cheat but are simply too shy and hide under the pretext of being religious or born again) and , Those that haven't found the right girl that will make them do.
