I know several of you on this forum came to this Earth by way of the disgusting practice of polygamy.

If so, I would like to ask you a question:

1. How is your overall family relationship?
2. Do you like having brothers/sisters from another mother?
3. Do you think it was for better or for worse?

Not my father..but I have many relatives that have been through this situation...Just recently my cousin found out her husband has been married with 3 children. ..Poor girl is furious..she gave her life to this man and he didn't even have the courage to tell her..All those "ganacsi" trips to Africa happened to be bullshidh

Polygamy is not disgusting...Allah swt has permitted it...

something allah subxana wataclaa ordained can never be viewd as something even close to what you said mr gedo.
4 is my limit and god willing am on my way

to answer your quetion my father (aun)had six

my grandfather had 4 wives and my dad 2

my dad 2 wifes

family relations good

i'm planning 2 have 2 religious wives inschallah

My dad has one wife, grandfather(aun) 4.

Lets be honest it can work for some but it is often a source of rivalrly, tension and fueding

u^rgrandfather is a good man

My dad is married to just 1 wife

My uncle married 3 the family was fine till he died and hell opened loose on the family. Too much tension and the kids dont get along at all. It is sad to wacth them!

my awoowe has two wives and I have one eedo from his second marriage...

but yep, my awoowe doesn't spend anytime with my ayeeyo

my pops been married to my mom almost 20 years (it'll be 20 on 8/8/08)

and I'm the oldest kid

Not my dad...Thank God!

my dad has been married twice so has my mum

Siblings from the younger wife = Not your brothers and sisters.

My father and mother both have siblings from different wives. Their Bahs were the first and they raised all the other bahs.

To this date, the younger children of the other bahs never show any brotherly or sisterly tendencies to the oldest bah and only take care of their own bah.


Abgaal have a saying, "Hadu Aabha ku dhafo caruur bah kale, wa habaar lagu dhafey."

Forget my dad both his father and my mother's father were only married to my grandmothers.

Polygamy is ruled out in my family. OUt of my 15 awooweyaal, only two married more than one wife. All my uncles are married to one wife and none of my aunt share a husband. Personaly, I would cut his ball off if he pulled such a act secretively and if he tells me ahead of time about his plans, I would ask for sadexdeyda coob shaax.

My dad never married another wife, or so we thought until we discovered as late as three months ago, that we have a half-sister whom we have never known her existence, when my mom confronted him about the rumor, he fessed up having a 19 year old daughter in Jibouti (he divorced her mom) so all those "business" trips were cover up for raising this daughter.
