We cannot confirm P.Iman`s relationship/engagement news with Zaid based on Alia Toukan tweets only. Let us wait !!!
princess iman as a third wife ;((
but then again I think the custom of arranged marriage has proved to be valid over the centuries, and such marital unions are even stronger than some passion-based marriages.
no, you're absolutely right! even though some countries have that traditional costume, i doubt the women will be really used to it, outside they behave and accept but their inner feelings tells otherwise.Sorry if I sound harsh, but I am disappointed this is happening. Arranging a woman to marry a man who already has a wife or two does not sound like anyone cares for her well-being. And I can't help but wonder if Queen Rania is getting nervous and fearing if her husband will suddenly announce she'll have to share him with another wife.
i never liked polygamous marriages, but for some reason i quite agree with you on there. i know many people disliked and found ridiculous Princess Haya wedding with Sheihk Mohammed, i did too considering their age, polygamy and Haya's always up-right attitude (which led to many wondering why she contradicted herself), but over the years i noticed they are REALLY in love and support each other mutually.maharata said:agree with you Sonjapearl on the matter of the polygamous marriages. But there's only one case I strongly support them - if there is Love between the 2 people.

i changed my mind about them and now i love watching them together
I heard that Sheikha Naylah - one of his two (youngest) daughters who were both born in 2010 - is from his second mariage.
I've read some posts about a possible arranged marriage. Many people may hit me back, but then again I think the custom of arranged marriage has proved to be valid over the centuries, and such marital unions are even stronger than some passion-based marriages.If this is the case with Iman and Tamim, and of course we don't actually know, I think it is going to be a stable relationship! I wish them a delightful engagement, and even more satisfying marriage! Inshallah!
The fact of polygamous marriage confused and unsettled many people in Western countries. But one can not judge fixed that a polygamous marriage basically means that the involved spouses must be unhappy. Nor is it universally valid that the marriage with only one wife to be happy always. It is difficult to judge something you do not know. Especially in generalized statements.

It is true that polygamous marriage is far away from OUR mentality and it hurts us. Nevertheless, I would be ready to make the effort not to judge and to understand, IF polygamous marriage was allowed bOTH sides, but it isn't no? Can a woman be married with more than one husband?
because the right to decide on such a form of marriage lies with the men and the women of my culture. If both parties are satisfied in such a marriage, .
Of course, IF it is a free choice no problem. But is it one?
Polygamous marriages are a very old tradition, commanded by necessity. Due to numerous, constant wars, men lost their lives all the time, and therefore polygamous marriages guaranteed continuity. The Western world abolished the most 'primitive' traditions, the Arab world could get rid of theirs, too. It's the 21st century, this is why we keep wondering...
Imanmajed said:No she can´t. The husband is the one who has to bear all the burdens. The possibility of a polygamous marriage must not hurt you, because the right to decide on such a form of marriage lies with the men and the women of my culture. If both parties are satisfied in such a marriage, then I see no reason that you should be personally worried about the wives.
Although I find it strange from my perspective, I think that a relationship without marriage works and both partners can lead a happy life.
What does that mean "bear all the burdens"? There is something sexist about that, but you probably don't mean it like that. And why can't a woman have more than one husband? If a man can, but a woman can't, it is sexist. Also, there is something adulterous about polygamy as it requires someone to not fulfill their vows because they are taking care of someone else.
Hi was scrolling a bit and found the question about why women can't take more men at the same time. I guess it's difficult to find out when a woman gets pregnant...??
Still that doesn't justify the fact that it's ragingly discriminating that men can be married to several women whereas women can't be married to more than one man........
men having multiple wives and not a women have multiple husbands since ancient times, its not because of the men income or bear responsability and care for all his wives in my point of view, it lies all in bearing children: if a women has multiple husbands she can only be pregnant from time to time, meanwhile a men with multiple wives can bear lots of his kids at the same time thus having a large number of children.
all i can say is that that was the main priority in ancient times, a family had to be large and have lots of heirs and spares in case of diseases, mortality and inheritance...
^exactly, that's what i meant. nowadays we see that too.
if the world reaches to an end (im talking to the extreme and the worst case scenario), it would be more logical 1 men to 10 women instead of the suicidal of humanity if it was 1 women to 10 men. (she could be infertile, die at birth, ...)
even though im a women, it cant be compared 1 men with multiple wives from 1 women with multiple husbands. however, maybe in history of mankind it happened, i remenber i saw a Japanese Movie called Ooku, where the Female Shogun had lots of men for her only and i wondered if something like that ever happened in Japan or other countries where a female ruled. (Queen Seon Deok of Sillah had several husbands or one at time? i remenber on her bio that it was listed several husbands)
