Dear LIB readers; How do women in polygamy cope?

From a female LIB reader
"I have been married for seven years and I have always lived separately from my husband. He is in d military and works in Abuja while I'm a banker working in Lagos. My husband just informed me he is taking a second wife and there is no going back. I requested for a divorce, he refused saying he still loves me. We have 3 kids and are practicing Muslims. Please how do women in polygamy handle it because I am so traumatized just thinking about sharing my husband with another woman.

    1. I'm sure you knew this will come someday. Why don't you give your life to Christ. There is only one Name given under heaven by which we must be saved and that is Jesus Christ!

    1. So what if she's a Muslim? she's allowed to have human feelings isn't she?

    2. Not bcos she's a muslim but certainly bcos she's human first and foremost so she( we, d rest of us indeed), should check carefully the " kind" of god or God we chose to serve...

    3. But Muslim women are taught from day one to share prick so I don't get d big deal. Since u have always lived separately with d man,u can always cope not having to see d other woman everyday. Face ur banking work and get a lover for urself.

  4. Men are naturally polygamous. Loving two women for five different reasons comes to them naturally. Women on the other hand are mentally monogamous. You have to think from his perspective and live with it or you'll just end up hating yourself and everyone else.

    1. You asked for a divorce and he said No because he still loves you? You're a learner. Stay there and wait for him to happily give you your divorce now. Or what did you expect him to say? Obviously he wants to eat his cake and have it too. And you sure are helping him. Honestly, to me that's the worse thing my husband can do to me, and at that point I would have nothing to lose anyway. So he would have to Reuther choose me, or her. If he chooses her then I'm gone. Cus there's no way I'm sharing my home with another woman. Marriage no be by force now. And don't even think about waiting it out and praying, cus once he brings that woman in, she's never leaving his house. Ask the millions of Muslim sisters to tell you.

If he loves u den second wife should not be an option for him, forget abt those stories that he loves u If u think u a strong enough to live as a sinlge mother go ahead, Poligamous home is not a good optin nor single mother is easy and d best for u and ur children, Ask if d reason he wants to take a second wife if it is something u can work out with a lot of sacrifice do it if u love him and he is worth it

  30. Why are you traumatized? Polygamy and Islam go hand in hand, so, you should have expected this right before you got married to him. And you are traumatized thinking of sharing your husband with another woman, you said? Well, the bad news is that you have been sharing him with OTHER WOMEN for long before now. He only chose to wife one of his women. You have been living apart, which may have been parr of this decision of his. Your living apart, may have given him room to check out other women and get another wife. Madam, accept your fate. Just love and accept the other wife and teach your kids same. My grandfather married 4 wives and they all lived together peacefully, until his death.

  41. As a practicing Muslim you should have talked about this before getting married. I always wonder too how women in polygamous homes cope. When i see them wearing aso ebi and looking very happy in public i admire them and wonder how they cope. Since you live apart already it may not be so bad to cope.

    ReplyDelete
  42. madam, u said have bee living separately for 7 years and y think for all those years u had your husband to your self. in your 7 years you must have seen indications that your husband is seeing someone else.2ndly, you said you are a practicing Muslim one of the doctrines of islam is marring more than one wife if the man wishes , if you are a Muslim that shouldn't be a problem anymore. you request a divorce because of another woman who intends to live in Abuja with your husband.......if i were you i wont but life is about ones choice. the next man u will likely befriend or wanna marry will either be married with a wife or be married with more than one. and you end up being a second fiddle anyway.so dear,choice is yours

Prepare for more wives. I am from a polygamous Muslim home so I know.

  52. Like what the fuck were you doing in lagos? I am sure it is loneliness and lack of care that pushed him to this. You should have stayed with your husband and look for job in Abuja.

  58. Hmmm.... coping in polygamy depends on how strong ones Iman is . If you believe that you're in the marriage for Allah's sake and that it's Allah swt that wills everything you will be able to cope. Prayers, patience and Tawwakkul are the key factors. just pray to Allah swt for ease.

  63. That he's marrying another wife doesn't mean he doesn't love you , putting sentiments and religion aside ,men are capable of loving women differently that's why you see some keeping other women and some Christians marrying more than one woman secretly and some openly. Please get lectures on marriage from scholars like Mufti Ismail Menk and also attend Muslim gatherings anywhere in your neighborhood . You should not offend your creator for d sake of any human being,the essence why Allah swt created us has been made known to us. May Allah swt ease your pains,make your feet firm in His deen and strengthen you. Ameen

  68. Asalam alaykum dear sister. Our creator Alllah swt told us that : "HE will not burden a soul with more than it can bear ". With this verse of the Quran ,i would like to say that Allah wouldnt throw polygamy your way if it would cause you hardship. coping in polygamy depends on how strong ones Iman is . If you believe that you're in the marriage for Allah's sake and that it's Allah swt that wills everything you will be able to cope. Prayers, patience and Tawwakkul are the key factors . just pray to Allah swt for ease. And it also depends on how much knowledge the husband has coz this would determine how he treats the wives. If you truly loves the husband ,you won't consider divorcing him and have in mind that any woman that doesn't accept polygamy according to the sunah her religious rites are not complete. Since you loves your husband so much ,why didn't seek for transfer or leave her job and live her life for Allah swt and close to your husband ? Especially when marriage is about making sacrifices . Please try to get these books and read : " "You can be the happiest woman on earth " and " Don't be Sad". That he's marrying another wife doesn't mean he doesn't love you , putting sentiments and religion aside ,men are capable of loving women differently that's why you see some keeping other women and some Christians marrying more than one woman secretly and some openly . Advise her to get lectures on marriage from scholars like Mufti Ismail Menk and also attend Muslim gatherings anywhere youre living . You should not offend your creator for sake of any human being,the essence why Allah swt created us has been made known to us. May Allah swt ease your pains,make your feet firm in His deen and strengthen you . Ameen. And Allah knows best

    1. Allah is the Arabic word for God (al ilāh, literally "the God"). The word has cognates in other Semitic languages, including Elah in Aramaic, ʾĒl in Canaanite and Elohim in Hebrew. So Allah is the name of God in another language it's not specific to religion

  81. I am not blaming your bubby or the religion but all blame is on you. Why are you not staying with your hubby? Because of your career as a banker? Now read this Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. They are Work, Family, Health, friends and Spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air.
    You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four Balls – Family, Health, Friends and Spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.

  82. If your husband is a true practicing Muslim, he wouldn't go ahead to marry another wife without your permission. The religion allows a man to marry more than one wife but the permission of his wife (wives) is a significant criteria.

    ReplyDelete
  83. well,islam supports polygamy so it should not be new to new to you. Unless you are saying now that you want to God's view about the issue. which is one man,one wife.

    ReplyDelete
  84. my dear, firstly, your religion permits polygamy, secondly he wants polygamy. it is not really all about religion but the man in question. there are many muslim men who are married to their wife only, no concubines not to talk of second wife talk less of third. discuss with your husbi, find out what the issues are, is it your work, distance, you don't "do him" sufficiently becos of distance, you know sex is very important in marriage; does he still love you enough, is he happy in the marriage?. try to get him talk to you, I mean try diagnose the matter and try find solution just like the doctor. military dudes, they love hot panties a lot with many partners becos of their work - he need relaxation after the days work which you are not there to provide, chances are that he may be under some influence to taste other punana. tread carefully though not to cause more issues in your marriage which no body prays for you. However if he is bent on taking a second wife, then try find happiness in your children and others things to engage your time, then pray to your God.

With this verse of the Quran ,i would like to say that Allah wouldnt throw polygamy your way if it would cause you hardship. coping in polygamy depends on how strong ones Iman is . If you believe that you're in the marriage for Allah's sake and that it's Allah swt that wills everything you will be able to cope. Prayers, patience and Tawwakkul are the key factors . just pray to Allah swt for ease. And it also depends on how much knowledge the husband has coz this would determine how he treats the wives. If you truly loves the husband ,you won't consider divorcing him and have in mind that any woman that doesn't accept polygamy according to the sunah her religious rites are not complete. Since you loves your husband so much ,why didn't seek for transfer or leave her job and live her life for Allah swt and close to your husband ? Especially when marriage is about making sacrifices . Please try to get these books and read : " "You can be the happiest woman on earth " and " Don't be Sad". That he's marrying another wife doesn't mean he doesn't love you , putting sentiments and religion aside ,men are capable of loving women differently that's why you see some keeping other women and some Christians marrying more than one woman secretly and some openly . Advise her to get lectures on marriage from scholars like Mufti Ismail Menk and also attend Muslim gatherings anywhere youre living . You should not offend your creator for sake of any human being,the essence why Allah swt created us has been made known to us. May Allah swt ease your pains,make your feet firm in His deen and strengthen you . Ameen. And Allah knows best

  86. Stupid girl, all this religion stuff is such nonsense and love he does not know what love is. Exactly what I say about 99 percent of Nigerian marriages they say love love love but have no idea what that entails. Love is commitment, communication, respect and friendship, he is not committed to you, nor does he have respect for you or a good friendship. No one who truly loves and cherishes their wife wants another and that's a fact. If you can pay your way by yourself move on maybe you will find someone who really loves you, only stay if you need the money. finish.

  91. from my experience, you just have to keep living in the moment and enjoying what you both had before someone else came along cause they'll always be one girl/girls out there waiting to have your man/husband.

  94. ...Dividends of Islam. And... the man lied when he told you he still loves you. If he loves you, he wont take another woman. Muslims dont know love. That is why they permit polygamy. Only muslims take so much joy in bombing and killing people because they dont know or have love. They dont understand what love feels like. The religion is more of a disaster than a blessing. Islam tagline is; Islam - killing people physically and emotionally since inception.

  95. Don't mind all those saying that you are a Muslim you should have expected it, that is their level of Ignorance Speaking. Polygamy is not an automatic right of every Muslim man there are rules.

    So the Question become as he followed the rules?

    My advise - 1. You've been living apart for the past 7 years, Technically (in Islam -if you are apart from each other for more than 4 months) you are not married (your Nikkah is Annulled)- So it is not required for him to grant you a divorce - tell him this if you want

    2.How long has he know this new woman? why does he want to marry her? did he inform you of some needs that you were not fulfilling? and are unable to fufill given time? is she a widow stranded and in need of care? If the answer to all this is NO then Islamically he cannot marry her.

    3. Was he involved with her (has he slept with her?) before he proposed marriage to her if the answer to this is YES, then Again he cannot marry her because If he does he will be Living in ADULTERY (for the rest of his life)

    4.Its time to dust up your Quran and read.You will get more from there. Islam says "SEEK YEE KNOWLEDGE", and I add "so that you may not be MISLEAD"

    Finally because he is a Muslim does not automatically give him the right to be polygamous, there are rules that he must follow. So once you've done your research and you still decide to stay with him confront him with these facts and am sure he will have no choice but to stop the marriage (if he does not want to go to Hell)
