 Salaam/Peace,

In the matter of all relationships, there are plenty of myths behind them. Take polygyny for example. Many think of it "dysfunctional" or "unfair" for all parties involved, that it's just the "legal way" to cheat, and one of the most popular of them all is that it's a way for women to enter into a marriage and be a 'homewrecker'.

All in all, today's society deems it as dysfunctional. In this video Coaches Nyla, Nazir, and Fatimah give their insight on the misconceptions of pol...

Salaams/Peace,

Polygyny of course, comes with a multitude of challenges, such as: jealousy, assumptions, frustration, hurt feelings, trust issues and confusion.  Character assassination is yet just another one of those challenges to say the very least. You may be asking yourself, "Why is this an issue with co-wives?"  Unfortunately, one of the main reasons is, many people like to hurl accusations, assumptions and insults about a co-wife and her past because it makes them feel better, so the acc...

Salaam/Peace,

Despite polygyny being an honorable form of marriage, many disagree with it; saying that it contributes to dysfunctional households, it's only beneficial to the husband, all of the like.

In this video, Coaches Nyla, Nazir, and Fatimah deep dive into how being "anti-polygyny" makes one, by default, "anti-marria...
