The bible contains many examples of men who had many wives, our cultures had no issues with polygamy. Considering the issues we are continually seeing mothers with kids emerging whenever we have a big man pass away, why not actively encourage polygamy? Men can then recognise their mpango kandos before they die

How many women would proudly want to be seen as a second wife?... "officially"?

SOme women don't mind being number two, or three, or four. Who knows, maybe if this stigma is removed, then even whose mpango wa kandos can accept with head high.

The issue of totally condemning it, is wrong. Of course it may not be acceptable to some people. But nobody is forcing anyone. Let those who want to practice.

Polygamy is shunned by Christians not the muslims who can have upto 4 wives. Most Kenyans are Christians and we shunned African practices hence the reason you will see the are not recognising the MWKs. Christianity seem to condemn it because its a religion from Europe who were monogamous in their culture(i believe)...so when Christianity spread, that culture went with it. No where is it condemned in the bible, the Arabs and Jews in Israel still practice it, but Israel may not do it much because of their vast immigration in Europe and the culture they have adopted.

You're a poor manager. You cannot even manage a team... Just joking Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

You see,
1. for you one is okay.
2. To another person, EVEN ONE is no, no!
3. For another, one is not enough. This is the category we are talking about. Remember there are some women who don't mind sharing. We're not saying all women want to share. No. We are saying some don't mind.

Just a heads up @AlphDoti: ALL women mind sharing.
Fanya opinion poll (lakini sio with Kenyan opinion companies) ama census.

The ones that say they don't mind are lying and they share due to their circumstances. Jealousy is inherent in women and that is why they don't trust each other.

All ladies DO NOT WANT to share, and WILL NEVER SAY YES.

As a man if you want to add, just do what a man got to do. The ladies will learn to share.

Thats means that whenever suffering is mentioned the symbol is shown, meaning that the symbol may as well be alluding to the cure of suffering.

Isn't what is good for the gander good for the goose? Polyandry? @Guru herself says that monogamy should be a mater of choice? If you watch the series you'll see what veiled sex addiction looks likeSad

I'm all for one. God created Adam and Eve! And King Solomon's Proverbs to the son, caution is given against women. The many women led to the Kings doom.
