A Nigerian Muslim doctor has given a blunt warning to women dating married men. According to him, if a man is afraid of his wife, it’s unlikely he will marry his mistress.
The doctor explained that a man who fears his wife shows a deep respect for his marriage, and such men are not likely to bring another woman into the relationship. He advised women not to waste their time hoping for a marriage that won’t happen.
This advice has sparked discussions within the Nigerian Muslim community, where topics surrounding polygamy and relationships are frequently debated. This isn’t the first time similar guidance has been shared. In an earlier post, a Nigerian man cautioned women against becoming second, third, or fourth wives to men who lack financial stability, stating that polygamous marriages require significant resources.
Additionally, a Nigerian woman living in the U.S. recently advised first wives to accept the reality of polygamy and avoid seeing future co-wives as “husband stealers.” Her message emphasized that polygamy is a part of Islamic tradition and should be embraced with understanding and mutual respect.
These discussions bring to light the complexities of polygamous relationships, emphasizing the need for honest communication, clear expectations, and respect for all parties involved. For women in similar situations, it’s important to consider these perspectives before making any long-term decisions.
