Aug 25, 2004 Harems are illegal in most of the world in these modern times. In the muslim community you can have up to four wives as long as you can support them equally. I find that divorce is a modern equivelent to a harem. Divorce allows a man to legally own multiple women. The first wife is exclusively his. Then he can divorce her, to remarry another woman to be exclusively his. He can have multiple children in the confines of marriage, just like in a harem men can have multiple children with different women. In some Muslim countries, now men are starting to divorce thier first wives, because it is cheaper not to keep multiple wives. It may well be less moral to have a divorce than to have multiple wives. If you support your first wife and your children in the standard they are used to, it is better than just abandoning them for some newer, younger wife. Yes, divorce allows the first wife to remarry but how many actually do? Men remarry more than women. This is because of perception, man is more stable in his job when he is older and can attract a younger woman that craves security. A divorced woman is considered used goods. Men need younger women because of the need to produce as many offspring as possible. Harems are seductive. The idea of being a man who can attract multiple women is a male fantasy, constantly brought up in popular entertainment. Men want to be wanted. Lets call divorce what it really is, a modern harem. That really only beniefits men. ------------ About the author: Being a full time writer is the hardest job that I have tried.
