thank you now you know.
Lets continue then,
Whay is your general advice?
So far according Law of marriage act 0f 1971, polygamy is leagal. just have a look at the marriage certificates, there are two options, either polygamy or......single....
Hakuna kumbukumbu yoyote kuwa Nabii Iisa au Yesu (as) alipinga uke wenza au kuoa mke zaidi ya mmoja. Ikiwa alifanya hivyo, ingemaanisha kuwa ameshutumu amali hiyo ya Manabii kabla yake.Polygamy is legal only to Islams and few people who likes to practice such things and who are more sexually controled than mentally. Tanzania's laws are cold and/or unfactioning with regards to religious matters.
Islam permits a man to have up to four wives at a time, provided the husband treats all of them equally, inter-alia, a muslem must submit to islamic sharia laws, to wit. Tanzania has islams.
Moreover, the Personal Status law arbitrates against a wife, as it gives a man the absolute right to polygamy without provisions mandating that he inform his wife of his plans. The law doesnt restrict polygamy according to Sharia rule, which stipulates non-harassment, equality and justice among wives, inter-alia, the same law discriminates against divorced women to the same degree when it comes to alimony and child custody.
Therefore, according to the Sharia, despite declarations of the equality of the sexes before God, women are considered inferior to men, and have fewer rights and responsibilities. A woman counts as half a man in giving evidence in a court of law, Mahakama ya kadhi, or in matters of inheritance. Her position is less advantageous than a mans with regard to marriage and divorce. A husband has the moral and religious right and duty to beat his wives for disobedience or for perceived misconduct. A woman does not have the right to choose her husband, or her place of residence, to travel freely or have freedom in her choice of clothing. Women have little or no autonomy and are deemed to need the protection of their fathers, husbands or other male relatives throughout their lives. Any conduct that undermines the idea of male supremacy will fall foul of the Sharia.
Wherefore, the question 'SHOULD POLYGAMY BE LEGAL' is defacto, because polygamy is already legal to Tanzanians with the faith and beliefs of muhammadic.
This is according to my understanding of ethical laws.
Please be informed accordingly,
Max Shimba, A Bondservant of Jesus Christ.
Chuki zako kaka zitakuangamiza mwenyewe, hao walio amua kuoa mke zaidi ya mmoja ni wao na iman yao... wanaweza kuwa ni Waislam au wakristo kule vijijini, na wanaweza kuwa ni Watanzania wali amua kufuata ndoa za kimila.Yes I'm sure polygamy is practiced in tanzania by the evil sex loving 'islams' under their evil devilish sharia law. All people who are non-muslims in tanzania are morally superior and do not engage in extra marital affairs and sexual innuendos because they have clean souls etc. I regret the observation that your stupidity knows no limits...

X-PASTER,
What is your comment on this ''It's wrong to expect a woman to accept that a man can have multiple wives. I think for polygamy to be ok, it'd have to be ok for a woman to have multiple husbands, the same way it's ok for men to have multiple wives''

Hakuna kumbukumbu yoyote kuwa Nabii Iisa au Yesu (as) alipinga uke wenza au kuoa mke zaidi ya mmoja. Ikiwa alifanya hivyo, ingemaanisha kuwa ameshutumu amali hiyo ya Manabii kabla yake.
Ipo mifano kadhaa na ndoa kwa wake wengi kati ya Manabii iliyonukuliwa katika Taurati. Nabii Ibraahim (as) alikuwa na wake wawili, kulingana na Mwanzo 16: 3: Kisha, Sarai akampa Abramu Hagari, mtumwa wake wa kike, Mmisri, awe mke wake. Haya yalitokea baada ya Abramu kukaa katika nchi ya Kanaani kwa muda wa miaka kumi.
Hivyo hivyo ndivyo alivyokuwa Nabii Daawuud (as) kulingana na Samueli 27: 3, Daudi na watu wake pamoja na jamaa yake wakaishi na Akishi huko Gathi. Daudi alikuwa na wake wawili: Ahinoamu kutoka Yezreeli na Abigaili mjane wa Nabali kutoka mji wa Karmeli.
Katika 1 Wafalme 11: 3, Sulaymaan (as) ilisemekana alikuwa, Solomoni akawa na wake mia saba, wote mabinti wa kifalme; na masuria mia tatu.
Mtoto wa Sulaymaan, Rehoboamu, pia alikuwa na wake wengi, kulingana na 2 Mambo ya Nyakati 11: 21, Rehoboamu alioa wake kumi na wanane na masuria sitini. Miomgoni mwa wake zake wote na masuria wake, alimpenda Maaka binti Absalomu zaidi.
Kwa hakika, hata Taurati iliweka sharti makhsusi kuhusiana na ugawaji wa mirathi katika hali ya kuwa na mke zaidi ya mmoja. Katika Kumbukumbu la Sheria 21: 15 17, sheria inasema:
Ikiwa mwanamume fulani ana wake wawili naye anampenda mmoja kuliko mwingine. nao wanawake hao wamemzalia watoto wa kiume, na mtoto wa kwanza kuzaliwa ni wa yule mama asiyempenda, ikafika siku ya kuwapa hao wanawe urithi, huyo baba haruhusiwi kamwe kumtendea mtoto wa yule mke anayempenda kama kwamba ni mtoto mzaliwa wa kwanza, badala ya yule mtoto wa mama asiyependwa ambaye ndiye aliye mzaliwa wa kwanza. Lazima amkubali yule mzaliwa wa kwanza, mtoto wa yule mwanamke asiyependwa, na kumpa haki yake: sehemu ya mali zake mara mbili.
Kikwazo tu cha uke wenza ni kupigwa marufuku kumchukua dada ya mke kama mke mwendani mpinzani katika Walawi 18: 18, Kamwe usimwoe dada wa mke wakati mke wako yungali hai; hiyo itasababisha ushindani.
Talmud inashauri idadi ya wake isipite wanne kama ilivyotekelezwa na Nabii Yaquub (as).
Uislamu ulitia kikomo cha wake wanne katika ndoa ya uke wenza kwa wakati mmoja. Iliweka sharti la msingi la kukimu na kudumisha uadilifu katika ndoa aina hiyo. Katika Suratun Nisaa (4):3, Allah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala) Anasema:
Basi oeni mnaowapenda katika wanawake, wawili au watatu au wane. Na mkiogopa kuwa hamwezi kufanya uadilifu, basi mmoja tu.
An-Nisaa 4:3
Huo uongo umeupata wapi wa kuelezea kuwa Mwanamke kuwa ana haki chache dhidi ya mwanaume?
Wakati mwingine jaribu kuondoa chuki ndani ya nafsi yako unapo jadili mada mbali mbali humu JF.
Kulingana na Padre Eugene Hillman, Hakuna sehemu yoyote katika Agano Jipya ambapo kuna amri ya dhahiri kuwa ndoa iwe kwa mke mmoja tu au amri yoyote ya wazi inayoharamisha kuoa mke zaidi ya mmoja. Alizidi kuhimiza hakika kuwa Kanisa la Roma lilipiga marufuku kwa wake wengi ili kwenda sambamba na utamaduni wa Kiyunani Kirumi ambayo iliagiza kuwa mke mmoja tu wa kisheria ndiye anaruhusiwa ilhali walikubali na kusamehe usuria, uhawara na ukahaba.

Sheria kama unaiona hayendani na imani yako (kwa uoni wako), huna haja ya kuivalia njuga.KIKAHE,
What is your comment on the following quotation?
