Polygamy

Polygamy is a practice of having more that one wife in the same time. It is found among many peoples. Normally it has been confined to the wealthy and to chiefs and nobles who can support several women and their offspring, as among ancient Egyptians, Irish, and Slavs. Islam limits the number of legal wives a man may have to four.

U.S law is not to promote polygamy, the same like many others nation in the world. The are several causes why polygamy may be dangerous for our community: First I think that polygamy can oppose the woman liberty. In the polygamy women has not the right to personal security, safe environment, better health care and good family support systems to allow them to develop and improve their quality of life. Also in polygamy woman have no rights because about every thing decide their husband. In addition the polygamy can cause life of the children. Another indication why polygamy is wrong is the fact that many marriages involving two or more wives end up with one or both of the wives in court for unlawful assault, wounding or causing grievous bodily harm. Finally it is immoral because it go against the law which are basic in the Christian ideas. In addition that’s why I think that polygamy should remain illegal.
