Angel, I think it is a 'man thing' these days. I agree,We know that the Prophet Muhammed took extra wives, because of the wars, and to bring peace between warring tribes. Some men now like to collect wives as if they are trinkets, and give themselves a better status in society. there is no need in this day and age for any man to take more than one wife. The Islamic prinicple I agree with, but life today is far more expensive than ever before, And I'm not talking about having loads of possessions, cars etc. Even having a roof over your head is tough to pay for. So men have a lot to answer for. Some women might marry a man who already has a wife, because she might feel she will be left on the shelf. It is extremely difficult for a woman to share her husband with another wife. So how does the man feel justified in sharing his money and love with extra wives? He is asking for extra trouble.
