COMMENT | There are so many terms when it comes to polygamy such as - polyamory, ethical non-monogamy and whatever trendy words there are now.

However, for me, there needs to be a condition whereby all parties involved need to be on board with what is going on. Basically, to establish honesty between all parties.

Recently, the issue of polygamy suddenly came into the spotlight after a PAS MP suggested in Parliament that the government needs to provide moral support for men who are capable of entering polygamy.

As reported in the news, he goes on to say that this could be a solution for the millions of women above the age of 30 who still aren’t married. He was even quoted as saying, “Imagine. 4.8 million women are still unmarried”.

The problem for me isn’t polygamy. The problem is more of the fact that Muslim men in Malaysia tend to see polygamy as a right that they have solely and that nobody can question it...
