As a canadian woman who converted to the islamic faithand recently married a muslim man I dread the thought of my husband marrying a second, third or forth wife. Even if I will always be wife number one, it gives me no pleasure to have my husband sleeping with other woman weather he be married to her or not. Marriage is a committed contract that should be taken seriously and if your not ready to commit to that one woman and your children for the rest of your life then you need to reconsider getting married. I was not ready for marriage for years. I am 44 now and choose now to be married because I am ready for it. Although I am older than my husband and I dont think I want to have children I do love him dearly and want the best for myself and him. however, contrary to my above beliefs if i choose not to have children then I would be open to my younger husband marrying again so that he could fulfill his biological desires of having children. I would think this only fair. Of course I would want my husband to ask my permission, It would say two things about him if he did this: that he respects me and that he is giving me an opportunity to make a decision as to weather I wanted to stay with him or no. And being a Canadian woman who was brought up with freedom and choices I would appreciate this very much.
Finally I wanted to say has anyone even wonder if the author of this question is serious or not or even it is a woman. There is not much dialog intelligent from them after the question was posed.
