Polygamy is defined as the custom of having more than one wife at the same time. Polygamy is allowed in Islam but we must follow the syarak as our guideline. For example, man who can afford to support his wives. Then, the man should be fair towards his wives in term of his care, ‘nafkah’ (money), and the wives needs.
Why Islam allowed polygamy? It is because Islam want to avoid the followers freely mix between man and woman. So that, Islam allowed polygamy to be legal relationship which is married although the man already have wife.
Other than that, for the couples who does not have child, the man can married to another woman at the same time to get a child from his new wife to increase Islam followers.
Besides that, by practice polygamy, we can strengthen our relationship among Islam followers. For example, the first and the second wife live together and cooperate on doing housework such as cooking, taking care of child and so on.
In contrast, if polygamy does not practice by follow the syarak, it can be disadvantage towards the wives as well as the family. For example, the husband is not fair to his wives and just cares about one wife that he just married. As a result, the first wife will feel lonely and heart broken with her husband behaviour. She might do something unpredictable when she is angry then threaten to her husband and the new wife for her right. It can affect their family relationship to become worst. Actually, polygamy practice is depend to person who good in practicing it and follow the syarak.
