Polygamy

This is a sensitive issue, when you're in a conversation and involving women. I've once meet a women that really went up to the roof when this subject was mention and I maintain that this was something that women must condone. Whether they like it or not.

Personally, I think most people (women and some men) had misunderstood polygamy. Not that I'm trying to convince women (my wife) to agree that polygamy is not the ugly beast that some of them believe it to be. Polygamy is a special privilege which Allah had bestowed upon men. It may seem unfair. And most women, when discussing about polygamy said that, if their husband were to add another woman under his wings then the women must be in dire need of shelter and care. Not good looking but in need of protection from the male species. Again, if that condition did arise, the women wouldn't agree to it as well.

Yes, it is true. What women like polygamy. I mean, if I was created by Allah to become a woman, I may not condone polygamy as well. Then again, we must remember, polygamy is from Allah. We must differentiates the system and the person. It is two different thing entirely. One is a lifeless system, a privilege from Allah. It can do nothing, thus isn't to be blame and condemn. Then again, it is from Allah, who are we, mere mortals, subject of Allah to question His Almighty? Are we clever then Him? Do we know better?

The person who chose to polygamy is another different entity. He chooses freely to practise it. Thus he also agree to carry the extra weight on his shoulders to the afterlife. Let him be. But we also hope that he is "adil" to his wives. Take good care of his children. A full time dad, bread winner and husband. Wow! That's a lot of responsibility. But does men think through all these? I bet not many. Most of them dream of the glory and prestige of having more than one wife.

What prestige and glory? Yeah, some men are like that. They never actually think of all the responsibility that lies ahead in taking care of two, three or four wives at once. It a huge responsibility.

As for me? Two is enough to drive me up the wall. But still manageable. Would I go for it? Only Allah will determine that for me. If He thinks that I would do me good. He'll greased up the way to it. If not, then no matter how hard I try, He will never permit it. Which is better for me. I think I'll pass this one for my harem in Jannatul Firdaus when the time comes. I could wait. Besides, who knows how much time I had left in this world. My time maybe tomorrow, or may be just a few more hours, or minutes...
