You seem like a little girl grown tall. What you haven't considered about polygamy (too busy feeding on TV fantasies to think clearly, I guess) is that social studies show that polygamy impoverishes women... click on the Internet, where you can read the facts, not the latest plot line of HBO's Big Love. Concubines in the man's harem cannot benefit from his health insurance, life insurance, dental plan, child benefits, pension plan etc,, and when he dies (worn out from all that-you-know-what) the woman will have to share his estate with 4, 5, 6 or more other women, all desperate for some support for themselves and their children. Any woman who goes into a polygamous relationship does herself and her kids great harm. This is why the world-wide organization, Sisters in Islam, are petitioning their governments to end polygamy, claiming that the practise discriminates against women and treats them as second-class citizens. And who would know more about polygamy than those women who are forced by their culture to live it? Polygamy belongs to the dark ages -- let it stay there.
