My Choice

Recently a well-known religious figure in this country decided to take on a second wife. This act caused such an uproar within the nation; even if the decision is personal, the person who made it belongs to the public, or at least seen to be and everybody feels that they had a right to say something. It brought up the polygamy issue; a word scorned by most women around the globe.

When is one is not good enough? Is it really about sharing your life and love? Is it about greed? Whatever happens to one true love? It is a betrayal?

As part of the personal, polygamy is what it is. A personal decision that shouldn't be interfered. If the other woman can not accept then she should make her own decisions, too. The same goes if she decides to accept the new woman in her husbands life, it should be celebrated as her ability to make a choice albeit an unpopular one. I'd probably be betrayed, angry and sad if it happens to me-- but rather than talking about how wrong or right polygamy is, it is more important to respect the woman's right to choose.
