:: I'm wondering whether polygyny may not require some more pages, as what I'm writing is getting quite lengthy. But I think all of it is really important as, I believe, the deep nature of polygyny explains the nature of Islam: as far as I can see, Islam is essentially 'polygyny and its consequences codified and sacralised'. But I'm not too sure how the kind of sociological analysis of polygyny I'm engaged in fits within the categories established by the portals... Anyway, shall we suck it and see? When I save the edit of my essay you may have some ideas on whether it should remain all on the one page, or be separated out, or maybe it falls outside the purview of WikiIslam. | :: I'm wondering whether polygyny may not require some more pages, as what I'm writing is getting quite lengthy.

::: To what extent should 'polygamy in islamic law' and 'islamic sexual slavery' be considered as separate subjects? I suppose it depends on whether one defines polygamy/polygyny as 'having several wives' or 'having several sexual partners' - but I think that, in Islam, there is only marginal distinction between 'wife' and 'sex-slave/concubine' - and that distinction is principally how the two are justified doctrinally, rather than much that is essential in their nature. The social repercussions of polygyny are largely the same whether the polygyny consists of wives or slaves. I'm inclined to include a section on 'sexual slavery' in this page. Any thoughts?
