Like I said in my post, it is not an issue that I will need to be concerned with. I do, however, find it quite interesting. On more than one level. Yes, I'm sure it is a much longer discussion. Does it involve ticking time clocks, as in the need or desire to be a mother?Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-79247189843666384672008-07-27T14:19:00.000+03:002008-07-27T14:19:00.000+03:00Well if first wives at least had more say in the m...Well if first wives at least had more say in the matter would there be much of an issue with more than one wife? as long as all parties decide that is what they want for the families.. why should anyone else have a problem? But it is just the 2nd and 3rd wives that have a choice in it all really. The agree to become a wife to an already married man. So in fact that says there are many women that choose it. Of course one would have to ask what are their alternatives... but that is a longer discussion.Ann Tamimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915646056815128431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-49255085993255883192008-07-27T04:33:00.000+03:002008-07-27T04:33:00.000+03:00I don't know what I find more fascinating, Nzingha...I don't know what I find more fascinating, Nzingha. The concept of more than one wife - or the fact that Saudi women don't have a choice in the matter!Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-66358371547836148112008-07-26T22:53:00.000+03:002008-07-26T22:53:00.000+03:00Not all women disagree, not that women in Saudi ha...Not all women disagree, not that women in Saudi have any choice to this. I've known women who agree to have a second wife, some American. Than others who don't. Mr. Mans father had several wives, there is four mothers between all the children. <BR/><BR/>Many 2nd and 3rd wives see it as a viable option much to the dislike of #1 of course. Better than remaining unmarried. <BR/><BR/>For us, since Mr. Man already has a 2nd wife.. his job.. no way I'm agreeing to an actual woman as #3 and not that he would. Cause his kids would hate him and he knows first hand what a mess it can be.Ann Tamimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915646056815128431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-61511741029578949122008-07-26T11:43:00.000+03:002008-07-26T11:43:00.000+03:00But, but, but...

Don't you disagree with this whole "sharing the man" thing? And, aren't you repulsed by it?" Those are the questions inquiring minds want answered. Or, this inquiring mind, anyway.Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-3440032944110317272008-07-26T07:10:00.000+03:002008-07-26T07:10:00.000+03:00I'm not down with the plural marriage thing, eithe...I'm not down with the plural marriage thing, either Sabra. It's totally foreign to me. We have a few 'cases' in the family and it is interesting. Well, in my mind it is because the whole time we're visiting I can't help but wonder about things and I never get to enjoy the visit because I sit there baffled the whole time!L_Omanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640842359904342033noreply@blogger.com
