marry to many wife is that a sin

Hi jboyblinks! The religion of Islam is okay with a man taking several wives if he is able to take care of her. Personally i do not favour a man taking more than a woman or viceversa. If a woman takes more men she is called a .... and i wonder what a man who takes more than one woman be called,lol.

Here in sweden it is even illegal to marry more than one. I would never accept beeing one of many - I would never marry a man like that. Love is sacred and for me it is for 2 people only!

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1peter3:7&version=50 1peter3:7 7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. Here is the verse that you quoted. It does not say honor WIVES it says wife. There is a saying the two women in a kitchen does not make for harmony. If your friend has more than one wife he has got to be very unhappy.

I think marrying more than one wife depends on what religion are you in. The state respects what its countrymen are believing. Just like my country there are many muslims, in their belief marrying more than one wife is not a sin as long as a man can provide equal attention, love and financial. A man shall always be equal to his wife. Although it is permitted by state to respect this religion, i am not sure how does the state stands when it comes to legal matters especially when it comes to estate inheritance. But for Catholic, marrying more than one wife is bigamy, it is a sin and it is not allowed. I think marrying one wife is more advantageous, we only have one heart, one body and it is really difficult to distribute it among many wives. Among two, three or more wives wether accept it or not there exist favoritism, due to different characters of wives, so was the attention, love and financial can then be provide equal? What do you think?

I think that it is down to the individual, if the women are ahppy with the arrangement then the only problwm I see is other peoples reactions, I have seen a few programmes about this and teh children of the marriages seem happy enough and the women seem to be happy with the arrangement, the only thing that worries me is the spreading of std's ect an dthe fact that most of these families isolate themselves from the rest of the world. I think the children of such families shoudl be alowed to know about all aspects of life and although they are brought up in an environement where there mothers share there fathers I think that tey should be allowed and taught the way that most people live also. I personally woudl not want to share a man with numerous women but that is me. i say liev and let live, if they are not harming anyone then what is the problem?
