Take that for all harem manga out there!

 

[daijokay]

and yet, there are still a fuck ton of men out there in a polygamous marriage despite not having enough money and being so disgusting to their family members

@ShimizuA: You're kinda missing the point here. In Saudi Arabia and most other Muslim countries were polygamy is still practiced (some Muslim countries have outlawed polygamy due to having adopted more Western values), the cultures still cleave unto the "husband = family's breadwinner" ideal, to the point of putting a lot of pressure on husbands even if the wife/wives have well-paying jobs.

It's totally different in your average harem anime/manga, where the characters hail from Western(ized) cultures in which the "husband = family's breadwinner" idea has become/is becoming out of vogue nowadays due to full-time working women becoming mainstream, at least in comparison to Muslim cultures.

@daijokay: You could say the same about there being too many monogamous marriages where the husband is both a cheapskate to his wife and children despite having more than enough money to support them and horribly abusive. It's not an inherent problem in polygamy per se; it simply magnifies an existing problem.

Absolutely halal.

Nada's description sounds like my teacher's friend. If he wants to buy a house for one wife, he has to buy a house for the other. Not that his family insist, he just wants to do it for himself. I hope they're doing fine even now.

@MarqFJA87 ah sorry this chapter just hit straight home for me sjks

 

[ShimizuA]

@MarqFJA87 well, I'm myself belong to those muslim countries, so my cultural view may indeed a bit biased.
