about polygamy
-
Jesus addresses his mother, aka the virgin Mary, John 2v4 - "Woman, what concern is that of mine? My hour has not come yet".
10 Commandments of Moses in Exodus - "Honour thy father and thy mother".
Salam,
As far as I know, the use of the word "Women" alone can not be something rude. Anyways, what I always found baffling is how right after this, he gives a demonstration of water to wine conversion. His mom did not even force him or request him any further, he does it all on his own. He just said that he doesnt care, and its not even an appropriate time, yet he goes on to make wine out of water. May be further study on the scriptures will reveal more details.
Peace

Saying "treating each wife equally" is stupid because it can mean equally badly. Polygamy is stupid, a man only has one penis so of course if he's f**king a different woman he isn't being a husband to his first wife.

Well, nice try!
But what about DIVORCEED and WIDOWS who are almost forced to either stay SINGLE for (maybe) the whole rest of their lives or (“alternatively”) to go and (try to) maybe SEDUCE their dream partner just because the society (societIES) in which they live is (are) seem to have agreed on “MONOgamy” as a rule..?
Ingrid, I’m NOT joking; I appreciate the fact that You censored (most of) the “f word”, but I wonder WHY You didn’t return our above greetings..? Salam means Peace, ‘alaykoum means “upon You”, did You just NOT know it, or have You left out greeting us back ON PURPOSE..?
Moreover what about the fact that the author of the article I shared actually TOUCHED the argument raised by You (although shortly) + he even wrote that he does NOT see a problem in female Polygamy per se, BUT he also mentioned that according to scientific research a woman is MORE LIKELY to catch a Papillomavirus (for those of You who do NOT know it.. That’s a dangerous disease) if she has actual intimate relations with more than “only” 1 man within an ‘idda/ a specific TIME PERIOD..?
Take care & I’m looking forward to Your answer,
Salamun ‘alaykoum
