About Polygamy in Malawi: Should it be abolished?

I have something to say about this. But before I say anything, the answer to all this, just like my work colleague Paul Cook says, its this simple: LOVE SHOULD BE FREE.You are saying polygamy is a solution to society. In every fairness of the word, yes it is a solution given the circumstances you have addressed and given how much you can swear that you would accept other things too in life as a solution to socieity. Even war, poverty, hunger, genocide, tsunamis, earthquakes and etc can also be regarded as solutions to society given people's opinions in their own right. If we take it that way, then we should also accept gay and lesbian people because they will be a solution to society too. Because if we are talking about the ratio disparity between men and women, then lesbians will help fix that problem too by having those women who dont want or cannot have men but ofcourse are interested in that type of relationship, in short, bisexuals for example. So will the gays too as they will be out of the game and therefore more women to chose from by the straight men, hence no prostitution. I think we have to apply to our times now. The Bible and the Qu'ran help us to apply the principles with time and space in order to progress as a species.
When you talk about ratio disparity bewtween men and women, these days people are all over the place; Europeans are in Africa and Africans are in Europe and what have you. If a woman cannot find a man and if a man cannot find a woman in his or her immediate society, they can get one from another race or culture if they are that well connected. I think the words by the Sheikh in the article above are not considering parameters such as geographic, racial, and modern communication advancements where its now easy to talk to people from different cultures and races far away, with say, a click of a mouse. Besides, why cant a woman too have multiple husbands if men can? On a biological point of view, yes I would agree that it would take a toll on that woman's life and health than it would for man, with disregard to common factors like diseases, but on a societal point of view, well they can too if they do not want to have kids for instance and she can negotiate with each husband as to how kids will come about exactly as how polygamous hubbies do. I am sure there can be a perfect structure for females too with time if we endorsed the practice today as well given the seemingly perfection that polygamous males' structure has achieved with the time and space it has been in practice for. Also with the amount of reviews it has gone through by "head polygamists" to make it legit for men than women while at the same time be legitimtely adopted in various societies. I think this was more of a male chauvanistic move than a biological or moral one. In present time and life, a man can cheat on his wife multiple times and he would never be called a whore; or whatever the appropriate word is. And when a woman seeks retribution by only doing it once that is when she wears the whore hat and that man.., that man, will feel like the whole life has just flashed before his eyes when females just feel the same way too and they can only hundle it much better compared to men by crying and yelling and consulting friends and as for a proud and ego ridden man, there isnt really a better way to get it out than let it sink in and forget about it with time. So all this polygamy thing is a way to inflict pain in women and make them feel its normal while they harbour it within themselves and settle it within eventually. That is how it "seems" to work in some cultures and places.
