- Abstract
Polygamy is considered a divine law of Allah that is believed to carry numerous benefits and has been a long-standing tradition dating back to pre-Islamic times. However, for some women, the issue of polygamy is challenging to accept. This study aims to describe the two prevalent patterns of polygamous practice within society, namely the white and black movements, and their respective differences. The research methodology utilized in this study is descriptive qualitative literature review, with data gathered through interviews and observations with polygamous practitioners representing both patterns. The study findings indicate that there are significant variations in the practice of polygamy between the white and black movements. The white movement’s polygamous practice, which includes certain conditions such as financial and emotional support and fair treatment among wives, can be considered a potential role model for contemporary polygamy.
