Determinants of Polygyny: A Cross-Cultural Analysis

Polygyny is a topic that exists in many societies studied by anthropologists. In the standard intercultural sample (SCCS), 83.8% of society is socially polygamy, and 28% of people coded over 40% of marriage are ambiguous. However, the percentage of polygamous marriages may be small, especially in hunter gathering or gathering communities where people gather resources and wealth through collection and accumulation. Thus, in this case, polygamy may be a facultative breeding strategy that increases with trustworthy resources such as manual collections that can be used for food collection and tool manufacturing.

First, several definitions are ordered. In polygamy, there is a polygamy system with one woman with many wives and a single woman system with many husbands in one person. 11 Political issues surrounding the polygamy law are exacerbated by the cultural and religious environment associated with them. Polygyny is still a common practice throughout the world and accounts for more than 83% of the world's 849 cultures; in about 35% of cases, this practice is usually sad and men and sisters get married. 13 This approach is thought to help reduce the risk of tension and hostility among couples between wives and children of these trade unions. Everywhere, this practice is more common among high-rich and wealthy people. By contrast, only 4 out of 849 cultures in the world have poly Andry in Nepal, and always coexist with polygamy so that advanced men in this culture also accept multiple wives I will. . 16

The relationship between polygamy and Islam is a serious misunderstanding. The polygamy system is practiced in almost all cultures, and there is usually no limit. In Islam, polygamy is not a substitute for monogamy, but only limited practice of polygamy is permitted. This is consistent with the realistic human nature and social needs of Islam.

In order to broaden the polygamy background in the context of Islam, we should pay attention to the current discussion on polygamy in Islam, and more broadly on the polygamy and the influence of their transition from Jahiliya to the Islamic period . . Leila Ahmed and Asghar Ali engineers proposed two very bisected views on the social significance of polygamous institutionalization in Islam and they have different views on women's issues. How to establish a single alternative to Islamic monogamy, to change the social situation of women? The sections frequently quoted in these discussions are the previously cited sections - chapter 4, section 3
