- Topic:
POLYGAMY AND QUALITY OF FAMILY LIFE AMONGST MUSLIMS IN THE KLANG VALLEY,
MALAYSIA
(This is a part of a larger national level project done in collaboration
with Sisters in Islam, University Kebangsaan Malaysia and University Science
Malaysia. This presentation is only based on a survey conducted in Kuala
Lumpur and Selangor which was funded by the FRGS Grant, University of Malaya)
- Abstract :
This presentation is based on the preliminary findings of a survey that
began in 2007.
Polygamy is a term used in anthropology and sociology to refer to marriages
in which a spouse of either sex has more than one mate. The two categories
for polygamy are: (a) polygyny where a man has more than one wife at a
time and (b) polyandry where a woman has more than one husband at a time.
Since polyandry is not permitted in Islam, the terms “polygamy” or “polygamous
marriage” are often used interchangeably in Malaysia and most Muslim societies
to refer to “polygyny” or “polygynous marriage”. This is a sociological
and empirical study of the practice of polygyny with the main objective
to ascertain its impact on family life.
Firstly, the presentation focuses on the national level statistics on Muslim
marriages and polygamy in Malaysia. Trends and patterns observed at the
national level will be discussed. Secondly, the discussion will show how
polygamy affects families who are within this structure of kinship; and
to understand the dynamics of polygynous families, their different experiences,
needs and concerns. Finally, the presentation will expound on concepts
of marital satisfaction and quality of relationships within polygamous
families and critique it as a social institution from a gender perspective.
