Polygamy in The Modern Age

Welcome to Chatting with The Village on Moji's World with me your host Moji Solar - Percy, co hosting with me today is Missis Robinson from the UK.

This week we will be chatting about Polygamy and its merits and demerits.

In the past, our forefathers married many wives to increase the size of their tribe for economic reasons. The population of each tribe helps strengthen the tribe to expand their territories in which the tribe thrived.  The  weaker tribes were captured and their kinsmen put to work as farm help, while their women were married off to rear children and help on the farms.  In the Muslim religion, a man can marry more than one wife, as long as he can love them and provide for them equally. In some tribes men inherited women as wives from their father and siblings. In modern day, Africa, polygamy is the norm but no one seems to know the reasons behind it.

To date polygamy is still being practiced in African, the Middle East and some parts of Asia. However the benefits seem to have shifted in modern times, so today we will be sharing our views with you.
