This was posted on my community by another user and I thought I would share this.... More than often, the first thought or benefit everyone assumes when they hear the word or think about the meaning behind polygamy is the sex life. But as we all know or should know, while a healthy relationship does include a healthy sex life, it sure isn't everything. So let's look beyond this general idea. Recently after always being a one partner only kind of person, I've given this idea some serous thought. The benefits I can think of is you would always have someone to talk to and relate to. Let's be honest here, even the best couples can not always relate to every single subject matter and sometimes its best to talk to someone else about things. And other times it's not always easy or appropriate to talk to someone outside of the marriage about certain subjects. And lets face it, if you have more than one spouse chances are there is going to be someone at home at the same time as you to talk to. Another benefit I have thought about is in today's modern age it seems that even two incomes may not be enough. Imagine if suddenly you place together 3 or 4 incomes. And imagine knowing that you could have more time off, since no one would have the pressure of having to pull extra hours. A semi full-time / part-time (6 hours) job would be all that would be required and your household could be pulling collectively a 90 or 120 hour work week. You could bring in more income then two adults working full-time jobs, without the stress and with the freedom of having more free time. If done responsibly, children could be a lot easier to take care of. You would always have someone else to help babysit and not have to worry about looking into daycare or calling family members at the very last moment should something unexpected come up. There would always be someone else to cover in the event one of you felt ill and needed time to rest. And there would always be someone to discuss parenting tips and allowing a more flexible schedule. The pressure of feeling of having to be in more than one place at one time would be lesson. General shared responsibilities could be done in a quicker amount of time and require less effort. This would free up time and generally make to a less stressful environment with more free time to spend with your spouses and any child you may have. Something that in today's modern age is lacking.
If there was a cheap way of doing gender selection without mass abortions, then I think society could make polygyny work.
Here is how we might answer the question: "Islam is all about RIGHTS - Everyone has their rights in Islam, even children have rights" "If a woman marries more than one husband at a time, how would the child get their rights of inheritence? What about their rights amongst other children from different fathers - but the same mother?" "If a woman can choose from any man, even the ones who are married, but a man can only choose from the unmarried women - who has the most choices?"
