Has polygamy expired?

@sun - I was going to begin disputing the article, but when I read it was referencing the Qur’an, I stopped reading. It is simply not worth my time when the beginning of their assumptions starts with something I don't agree with.
 
Good document. I would like people's opinion on this feminist who thinks Polygamy is expired:

Not trying to be mean, but this is an Islamic-centered post, so it's not something we can dialogue on very easily.

However, the argument that I read (I didnt read the whole thing) was that polygamy is outdated by modern circumstances. I don't think most on here would argue the "necessity" of polygamy. We tend to dwell on God's permissiveness, acceptance, even promotion of it ( in certain circumstances)

In our socialist, welfare state, the "necessity" of any woman to marry is probably outdated because she can have an instant monetary provision when she births a child. The State becomes her husband providing food, shelter, and medical care. So, why not argue that marriage is outdated!

In or godless society, we hinder biblical marriage in favor of de facto polygamy through no fault divorce, and encourage harlotry under the guise of a sexual revolution.
 
While a woman can seek provision of material needs from a State "husband", that would still leave her without the spiritual covering and relationship for which she was created.
Any mandate against polygyny leaves many women either at the mercy of men who don't qualify as husband material, or bereft of the relationship that they were designed for. Is. 4:1 refers to that state of being as a reproach, or shame.

So until we "progress" to the place where we have more genuinely qualified men available than women, poly will not be outdated.
 
Most people out there don't understand or care about spiritual covering.

So true and hard for people in our society. Uncle beastie is the default husband. Beastie wants to be out daddy and hubby. We have to obey and pay him our dues. Hmmm, sounds like Lucy is allowed to be lord by us obeying and paying tribute to him. Are we a conquered people?
I heard by many before, as long and we obey and pay, we are free. The church and state thru their media told us we are very free, as long as we obey and pay them. Morbidly funny how people buy that...

The more "advanced" a society claims to be, the more controlled the subjects. Things like this don't really change when we read history..
Last several months I kept hearing, we need to choose the lesser evil, our new ruler. lol
"Normal" people don't see it for the most part. Since most don't know our creator, people choose man to rule over them to feel a covering of sorts.

I wonder if shopping and other entertainment is used to compensate... Faith in uncle beastie too.. Daddy and hubby.. Then, some send their sons to die for beastie, or are proud when they become beastie enforcers. Just some thoughts.. We have been programmed with many disfunctional mind sets. Only the mind of Christ can help us clean up.
We live in something like the Matrix.
