I worked overseas over in the middle east for a while and spoke to a dude married to three women. He said (in thick accent) "three wives is too much problem"
Polygamy is uncommon these days in the middle east--it's actually most common in sub-Saharan Africa. I've read once source that estimates 5% of marriages in Afghanistan are polygamous, and that's the highest across the Middle East. The numbers are much higher in Africa.
There's a theory that the historical prevalence of polygamy in various Islamic states helped define (or exacerbate) their outward aggression.
Rich men can afford to have multiple wives. When rich men have multiple wives, this means that many poor men no longer have marriage options. This leads to an excess of unmarried young men. No government wants an excess of unmarried and unhappy young men. Where can young men find women? Non-Muslims, women from other countries, slaves, etc.
Slavery was very common across the Middle East through the 19th century, and there were slave markets in Istanbul up until almost World War 1. The "avret pazar" was the female slave market (bazaar).
I thought it made some sense when a lot of young man died in war and women need it protection during those times.
But honestly never looked to much in to it. It was a bit odd as I rarely hear about Arabs having multiple wives so I just assumed it was reserved for the rich. Had no ideea it was a thing in sub-Saharan Africa
Yeah, I seem to recall there was a proposal in Germany after WW2 to allow polygamy, as so many men were dead, that allowing surviving men to have multiple wives would help rebuild the population. Don't take my word on that, though..
A lot of the things that we think about as "Islamic" -- polygamy, female circumcision, slavery -- etc., were and are most common in Africa.
Those who know me here would assume that I hate the US' greatest ally the most, but that is not the case, I actually have the most passionate hatred imaginable towards sweden and to a degree swedes as well, some of the most degenerate, vile, disgusting things imaginable, I see come from sweden, and a lot of swedes seem to enable it. And a lot of swedes are genuinely retarded to a degree, it's a state for adult children, they are completely succumbed to their disgusting women and nanny state which they entirely depend upon, under the false of being an ''egalitarian society'' while in reality they're a hardcore feminist matriarchal hellhole. I firmly believe sweden was Imp's inspiration, because it is impossible to view their society and not hate them. The worst part is that over the years, a portion of their adult children faggotry mixed with feminism spilled to some parts of Finland, thankfully we're not as retarded although we do have a lot of similar issues and our own pest we need to take care of. You can see this example in this very post, this cunt doesn't care about the entire problem that enabling this poses, her angle is that it dehumanizes women and other feminist bullshit.
The good swedes left for US after ww1, don't let swedes ever tell you sweden was good and that 2016 was the downfall, it has always been a hellhole and a failed society, not to mention how it gets in your way for everything, the same faggots who started with the carbon tax, at this point I would not be surprised at all to hear that sweden started taxing you for going outside.
Whatever did we Finns do to be punished by a sandwich of feminist hippy faggots on 1 side and soviet subhuman critters on the other, nothing angers me more than seeing swedish idiots grouping us Finns in the ''scandinavian'' group, the most faggy group to ever exist, while we have nothing in common, Karelians and Estonians, those are my peoples, not these nordic vermin adopting western degeneracy.
I really dont understand how people can actually have a emotional connection with more than 1 person like that.
I know its mainly because women are treated like property over there, and not like people, but many of them seem to be ok with it.
One person is more than enough for me.

How common is having multiple wives? I thought it was more a thing for those with money.

It makes a lot of sense if you're trying to grow a religion. Mormons, Anabaptists and Muslims used the same strategy.

There's also a 'reality' tv show that exists called "Seeking Sister Wife." The people it follows do not appear to be very wealthy.
You're not supposed to have an 'emotional connection' with your wife. That's half of why we're in the mess we're in.
No shit. Yall are late to the game
2017 was eight years ago?
fucking hell time flies...
