Abstract:
This research article delves into the intricate dynamics of polygamy in Islam, emphasizing its potential as a support system among co-wives. Traditionally viewed with controversy, especially in Western societies, this study challenges such perceptions by highlighting how polygamous arrangements can foster mutual support, shared responsibilities, and companionship. By examining these relationships through religious, cultural, and social lenses, the study reveals how polygamy can empower women within the framework of Islamic teachings, transforming traditional familial roles and enhancing their agency. Women's choices to enter polygamous marriages often reflect a complex interplay of factors, combining strategic decision-making for financial or social stability with deeply rooted religious motivations and commitments. The research utilizes diverse narratives from a global Facebook group, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of polygamy's dynamics and benefits. This perspective underscores polygamy's role as a supportive alliance among women, contributing significantly to broader discussions on gender dynamics and marital structures within both Islamic and global contexts.

Abstract:
<em><strong>Polygamous, polyandrous and polyamorous relationships and the concept of Christian marriage</strong></em> The main task of the article was to conduct a comparative analysis of polygamous, polyandrous and polyamorous relationships with the concept of Christian marriage. Polygamy, or polygamy, raises a lot of controversy. In polygamy, the most important are the physical aspects, but people who decide to create such relationships are also motivated by tradition, religious rituals and coercion from families. We can also talk about polyandrous relationships as a form of polygamy. These relationships arise when a woman has several husbands at the same time. Polyandry mainly concerns marginalized social groups. Another type of relationship is polyamorous relationships. They are based on romantic love and emotional closeness. Although sexual contacts are possible. Polyamory is supposed to free a person from the pressure of imposed norms and rules subordinated to monogamy, thereby ensuring freedom of choice and a sense of well-being. In this context, it should be emphasized that a Christian marriage has the following features: love, sacrifice, fidelity, mutual respect, forgiveness and prayer.

Abstract:
This study explores the coping mechanisms and religious beliefs employed by women in polygamous relationships to manage emotional distress, and the extent to which this approach challenges or reinforces patriarchal structures within these relationships. Data collected a closed Facebook group for Muslim women only reveal that women in polygamous relationships often experience psychological and emotional distress. To cope, they commonly resort to religious faith, acceptance of fate, and compromise with co-wives. While these strategies help manage emotional distress, they can potentially reinforce patriarchal structures within these relationships. The research provides a nuanced perspective, arguing that these coping mechanisms can be seen both as a form of resistance against and an acceptance of patriarchal norms. The study also underscores the need for further research into factors such as stress levels, coping skills, and marital factors that can impact behavioral, emotional, and cognitive outcomes in polygamous marriages. To conclude, in polygamous relationships, women often use avoidance and religious justification as coping mechanisms. While these strategies provide temporary relief or spiritual comfort, they don't address the long-term psychological harm or inherent gender inequalities.

Abstract:
This study aimed to identify how Malaysian polygamous second wives adapt to a polygamous life. A total of seven women who were second wives were interviewed. In-depth, face-to-face interviews were conducted, which were then transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis. The following four themes emerged: controlling self-conflict, learning a new environment, having a goal focus, and practicing discussion and mutual agreement. The study results highlight strategies for second wives to increase their cognitive and emotional resilience and better adapt them to the challenges of a polygamous life. The study findings provide a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the form of adaptation and the process of polygamous families in Malaysia, especially among second wives. This study also contributes to developing recommendations for ways and skills in family counseling dealing with polygamy. The implication of this study is to contribute knowledge, especially to the construction of psychometric test tools and new variables in conducting a survey-type study on a larger scale of respondents, which consisted of second wives.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to discuss the experiences of second wives in polygamous marriages and the psychological impact they endure while living in a polygamous relationship. The research method used is descriptive phenomenology, utilizing data analysis techniques. Participants were recruited from South Kalimantan and East Java through an online form using Google Forms. A total of four second wives participated in this study, with an age range of 23-45 years. Participants were selected using a snowball sampling method. Data were analyzed by repeatedly reading the transcripts and identifying key themes. The results of the study show that life in a polygamous marriage is full of challenges. The second wives feel that living in a polygamous marriage is a fate determined by God, and although they accept the marriage, they face issues such as feelings of dissatisfaction, vulnerability, jealousy, nagging tendencies, and irritating habits. The psychological impacts experienced by the subjects include frustration, annoyance, heartbreak, mental pressure, feelings of inferiority, anxiety, and restlessness. Communication in polygamous marriages plays a crucial role, where openness and good communication between partners can support a positive relationship, while the inability to be open and communicate can become a barrier.

Abstract:
This study examining the psychosocial profile of Bedouin Arab Women living in polygamous and monogamous marriages found that women in polygamous marriages reported lower levels of self-esteem and higher levels of somatization, depression, anxiety, hostility, paranoid ideation, more problematic family functioning, less marital satisfaction, and more problematic mother–child relationships than women in monogamous marriages. The sample consisted of 315 women, 156 from polygamous and 159 from monogamous families. The respondents completed the Self-Esteem scale (SE), The Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), The McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD), The Enrich questionnaire and the Index of Parental Attitudes. The polygamous family structure and the economic difficulties widespread, apparently constitutes a substantial contribution to the polygamous household's impaired family functioning.

Abstract:
Background: A considerable body of research concludes that the polygamous family structure has an impact on children's and wives’ psychological, social and family functioning. Aims: The present study is among the first to consider within the same ethnoracial community such essential factors as family functioning, life satisfaction, marital satisfaction and mental health functioning among women who are in polygamous marriages and women who are in monogamous marriages. Method: A sample of 352 Bedouin-Arab women participated in this study: 235 (67%) were in a monogamous marriage and 117 (33%) were in a polygamous marriage. Results: Findings reveal differences between women in polygamous and monogamous marriages. Women in polygamous marriages showed significantly higher psychological distress, and higher levels of somatisation, phobia and other psychological problems. They also had significantly more problems in family functioning, marital relationships and life satisfaction. Conclusion: The article calls on public policy and social service personnel to increase public awareness of the significance of polygamous family structures for women's wellbeing.

Abstract This article focuses on transnational polygamous marriages of migrants in Russia and how transnational polygynous practices influence people’s understanding of marriage, love and family. The paper shows how polygamous migrant marriages are negotiated between families, by presenting the perspective of individuals involved in such relationships in Russia. It argues that transborder relationships contribute to the transformation of social interactions. People function in two or sometimes more countries, creating opportunities for parallel partnering or other options that influence family networks in the migrants’ countries of origin.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the choice of law rules governing the formal validity of a marriage and those rules governing its essential validity or capacity to marry. It first considers the general rule governing the formalities of marriage as well as exceptions to the general rule before discussing the two main theories on the capacity to marry. It then looks at the reform of general rules on marriage, what law determines the nature of a marriage, the capacity to contract a polygamous marriage, and recognition of polygamous marriages in England. It also analyses the rules governing civil partnership and de facto cohabitation and concludes with an overview of special problems posed by polygamous marriages and same sex unions.

Abstract:
This concluding chapter argues that Mormonism, troubled by its polygamous past, is a religion in process whose Americanization is doomed to be incomplete. Contemporary Mormonism still bears the legacy of the nineteenth-century conflict over plural marriage in ways that have proved difficult to escape, despite the fact that the mainstream Church has not practiced plural marriage for over one hundred years. Other sects, however, have continued the practice in earnest. As popular press and television attention to plural marriage has increased over the past few years, the Latter-day Saints Church has continued to struggle to define its relationship to contemporary polygamists. However, despite the contemporary Church's many attempts to distinguish itself from fundamentalist Mormons, contemporary mainstream Mormons are still widely associated with plural marriage.

Abstract:
When the English court has to decide whether a marriage is valid, foreign elements may be involved: one or both of the spouses may be of overseas origin, or the marriage may have been celebrated in a foreign country. This chapter considers which law applies to determine the validity of such marriages. For choice of law purposes, rules about the validity of marriage are divided into two classes: those concerned with formal validity and those concerned with essential validity or capacity to marry. Rules of formal validity lay down the way in which a marriage must be celebrated (for example, to ensure publicity and proof of marriage). Rules of essential validity or capacity are concerned with the permissibility of the marriage relationship itself — whether the parties ought to be allowed to marry each other (or at all). The chapter also discusses the application of the doctrine of renvoi and rules for same-sex marriages, civil partnerships, and polygamous marriages.

Abstract:
This chapter starts to build a contextualised account of the law around polygamous marriage to uncover the forces that shape and frame the law and its effects on people in these marriages. The focus of this chapter is the law around polygamous marriages celebrated in England between individuals who are domiciled and/or living in England. The chapter adds to existing work on domestic polygamy by thinking through the wider contextual issues and dominant discourses in the law that need to be disrupted to better meet the needs of people in polygamous marriages. Stretching back to before European colonising processes, the presence of polygamous communities in ancient Britain are explored. Following this, the chapter is organised around a series of key legal moments in English matrimonial law, including the Bigamy Act 1604; the Clandestine Marriages Act 1753 and the Marriage Act 1836. It is argued that Anglican Christianity dominates English marriage law, which is intertwined with coloniality to make the law indifferent to polygamy. Thus, the law ignores marriage ceremonies and relationships that do not conform to Anglican Christian monogamous ideals.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the different forms of plural marriage and provides some historical background and context, focusing on the long-running conflict around polygamy in the Mormon Church in North America. It asks whether we can justify prohibiting or denying recognition to polygamous marriages, whether we ought to drop restrictions based on numbers and focus on the quality of people's relationships, and on what grounds nonrecognition and discouragement of polygamy can be justified. It also considers the so-called “polyamory” and argues that same-sex marriage and polygamy have little in common, aside from being deviations from “traditional” monogamy. Finally, it explores plural marriage as a doctrinal tenet of the Mormons and the 1947 Supreme Court case Reynolds v. United States.

Abstract:
This article delves into the multifaceted perspectives on polygamy, specifically focusing on why a woman might opt to become a co-wife. The study, conducted in a private Facebook group for women who are part of or interested in polygamous relationships, unveils that societal norms, religious convictions, and individual situations greatly shape the views on polygamy. Despite certain muslim feminist groups advocating for the restriction of polygamy to specific scenarios, both men and women have their unique interpretations and applications of the principle, often extending beyond the confines of the Qur'anic context. However, these theories don't fully encompass the practical responsibilities and potential hurdles tied to polygamy. The study also exposed that polygamy, commonly perceived from a male-centric viewpoint, could also be interpreted as a woman's right, particularly when she is the instigator of the marriage. In summary, the research provides both theoretical insights and pragmatic implications, allowing us to perceive polygamy not just as a male prerogative but also as a potential social support structure for women.
