Polygamy, in Islam, although it’s not recommended, has glorious purposes. One of them is rising women prestige and solving social problems. There are social problems didn’t have good solution, such as dishonest, prostitution, hidden wife, etc. its can be solved by polygamy. The marriage law which gives more clauses to polygamy actors makes an impression that the polygamy is just about sex oriented. Such a man can has second wife if his first wife is infertile or she can’t satisfying her husband’s desire and so on. In fact, polygamy in Islam is not like that. It demand the actor makes righfull. Maybe, the marriage law must be change about can the husband makes righfull to his wifes, so there are no oppressed and injured [not about his wifes infertile and childless]. Those should have government attention. [Mac]
