Can wives in a polygamous marriage be friends? - Page 3

The whole idea of polygamy grosses me out and It's completely against what a marriage is. A marriage is a sacred bond between two people... If a man wants to sleep with more than one woman, he should not get married. It also completely devalues a woman's worth and respect.

It's the one thing that ruins the show for me... I know it's fiction but the idea of the man moving from one woman's room to the next... And for wives like Ruq to be so desperate for the mans attention... 🤢 I personally would rather die single than be constantly competing with another woman.

I imagine there would have been competition for power, being Mariam Uz Zamani would mean you get higher power and respect. However having so many women in there harem, I'm sure many would be friends. Polygamy was seen as natural then so I don't think it would be too bad for them.

are you joking do you think a akbar/jehangir/shah jahan/aurangzeb will give a damnnn to any wife not really not alwaysss not as shown in serial neverrr

do you think a real akbar will take all that crying and screeching by a ruqaiah or a ego trip of jodha and run to pacify??? He will give two hoots as his priority is running empire and wars. Real akbar will not know for months that jodha left to mayka angry with him or ruqwaiah broke vases etc in her room in anger. They will not dare behave in front of him like that orrr they may not live to see another dayyy. And no ruqaiha or jodha or even a salim can walk out of agra fort without an akbar's permission simple

Liz is joking, dear. Polyandry is a wife having multiple husbands as opposed to polygamy where a husband has multiple wives. 😆

Exactly my feelings...except bold underlined

We have often seen Akbar's other wives complaining that they haven't "met" their husband since god knows when. We also have seen how one of his wives fell in love with another man & was expecting his baby.

My question:

What about the wives' biological & emotional needs in such a situation?

An akbar gave khurram to ruqaiah because she was his cousin and childhood friend not because she was his wife and demanded khurram for upbringing

An jehangir allowed nur jahan all powers because she was his childhood friend

An shah jahan allowed mumtaz to make decisions because she was his childhood friend

And nadira begum could have emperors seal and issue farman not because she was Dara Sikoh's wife but because she was his cousin
