Now, I would like to bring your attention to the fact that can you bring in such a data based defense in relegious conversion of YOUNG GIRLS alteast from 2005- 2020( that was when it was rampant in Sothern part of India) between the age group 16-35 ( being the marriagable age) as well as boys ot the same age category from hinduism to islam as well as christianity to islam. Of course the other way round also. Can we start with kerala and then you can move on to pan india basis. So that the so called propaganda movies like "Kerala story" will naturally find its place....do you care to...

    I agree with most of the things, but i disagree that polygamy is not a big problem. Let's say there are 800 million adults extrapolated in survey and let's say half are women, that would mean 4 million women are in polygamous marriages. So it's a huge problem in all communities.

The population problem, i don't think is due to polygamy, but more so due to reluctance in using birth control.... that is where the focus should be on...

    I am disappointed with SG that even he took the easier route. The question is not who practices polygamy in reality. Anyone practicing polygamy illegally must be punished. The real question to be asked is: Why should any religious community have that privilege? If I start a new religion and say that the followers of my religion can have 10 wives, will that be accepted?
    A real liberal democracy is one where all citizens are treated equally. No extra privileges just based on which family one is born into.

    I'm still not able to wrap my head around his way of using TFR to negate polygamy.....
    My counterpoint or questions:
    TFR by defination means the number of children a woman would have.
    That leads to two situations, let's say TFR is 2.0:
    In monogamy relation: woman produces two baby, which means that two person (wife and husband) produces two child.
    In polygamy relationship: ( let's take an example of 4 wife )
    4 women will produce 8 child, which means a group of 5 person is producing 8 offspring.
    So my point is in both the cases TFR is 2.0 ......but whereas in monogamous relationship the ratio will remain 1:1, but in polygamous it will be 1:1.6
    Hence a question arises, we call TFR of 2 as replacement, because we think that 2 people are producing 2 babies, but isn't this concept nullified in polygamous marriage?

      If there are only 5 men and 5 women in the world (10 people in total), let's assume. And let's say a woman can have only 1 children in a year because it takes about a year (9 months for pregnancy and 3 months breastfeeding etc.) to have a child.
      1st Scenario:
      1 man married to 5 women. Other men would have no wife cuz there are only 5 women.
      So, if this one man impregnates all of his wives then they would all give birth to 1 child in this year.
      Total children: 5
      2nd Scenario:
      1 man married to 1 woman. So that all 5 men are married to only 1 women. (So all people are married in this case)
      Each women gets pregnant by her husband and give birth to 1 child.
      Total children: 5
      Basically how many children would be born only depends on how many women are getting pregnant. Now if 1 man is impregnating 1 woman or 5 women doesn't matter. Only the number of women getting pregnant matters.

      Why only a Majab are given so many Exception off SharayLaws by giving Privileged of the Social Evils for allowing Polygamy having Multiple Marriage, even with an UndeAged so in turn Responsible for Population Explosion....its a Known Fact with a Pride !!
      If ShekharBhai if the Fats&Figurs are Authentic as Claimed by YourSelf, then there is No Point of Opposing UNIFORM CIVIL CODE {UCC}.... why too have Multiple Laws making BharatDesh an Exception in the Name of Secularism.... or else gives EveryOne the Same Privilege too All HinduStani's under UCC... ??

      Why this is not a issue. Polygamy dehumanizes women, imagine giving your daughter to a man with already 3 wives. What would the respect be of her. And the man can use other women as leverage and give fewer and fewer rights.
      The issue is just not polygamy but low status of women in Islam which results in her being illiterate , making her a baby making machine for political purposes and then she loses inheritance rights, child rights and even divorce laws are against her(even after removing instant talaq).
      Over time this will result in Islamist takeover just like in Egypt or Lebanon.

You having 5 wives is none of my problem. But change the rules to control corruption, injustice, empowering people (way too much power with police, administration and politician), if a policeman stops you or wife in the middle of the night then you are more worried than feeling relaxed. India still ranks poor and lower than china and afganistan in press freedom, ranks lower than afganistan, Pakistan and sun-Saharan countries in hunger index. My wife is a Chinese, when I travel to china, I never get afraid of Chinese police or state (all I have to do is to nit criticise the CCP, which is non of my business. I also don’t feel insecure when staying in Dubai (all I need to do is respect their culture and constitution). Once a boy misbehaved with my wife (who is from china) outside the delhi airport, I ended up having heated debate with him and called the nearby standing police who did nothing to that boy, so I went to his senior in the cabin who tried to calm me down but ended up telling me to suck it up and that my wife shouldn’t feel bad as it’s normal in their culture (all the Indians feel that their culture is the best but their have the highest rate of incest and rape in their society, an Indian boy finding a girl in a middle of road at night looks at her like a sexual prey rather than thinking about helping. I came to know that the boy who misbehaved with my wife was a son of politician. No politician even in communist country like china can escape the rule or constitution unlike India. (Practically, India need democracy like china or Dubai rather than a false democracy.

    And you can show it from the time of independence broken by decades.

      Let's say
      1man marries 2 women. Then the other man would remain single forever. And every women has 2 kids.
      So total kids: 4
      Let's say
      1 man marries 1 woman and the other man marries the other woman.
      Now both women have 2 kids.
      So total kids: 4
      So in both cases no. of kids would be the same. No matter if a man married 1 woman or 2 women. Because it is the women that get pregnant and give birth.

Currently, Hindu women have the protection of law for dowry but Muslim women don't have the same against polygamy. If they want to complain, where will they go.
    Similarly, inheritance rights, divorce alimony are totally in favor of men contrary to other Hindu laws which favor/equalize women.

      Because most Muslims in the world are poor. And poor people have more kids.
      It is important to note that population growth rates can be influenced by various factors, including social, economic, cultural, and educational factors. It is not accurate or fair to solely attribute population growth differences to religious factors. Population growth rates can vary due to factors such as fertility rates, mortality rates, migration patterns, socio-economic conditions, and access to healthcare and education.
      Drawing conclusions solely based on religious angles may oversimplify complex demographic trends and can perpetuate stereotypes or biases. It is important to approach discussions about population growth rates with a nuanced understanding of the multiple factors that contribute to these trends.

Why stop at personal laws, it should extend to taxing of places of worship. If temples are under Govt control then all religious places should be. Or none at all. Same with education institutes.

    Hindus and BJP politicians have gotten a wrong interpretation of the Islamic Sharia law on polygamy. It's not compulsory to have more than one wife. The law only allows those who are in need to have more than one wife. Therefore, the uniform code is not a serious concern for Muslims in India. Those who are in need can have more wives without going through registration as the Hindus practice now.

    I think we should also make such surveys about dowry as well.
    If in most the cases both parties in the marriage deny giving dowries , we should start petitioning for legalizing the dowry system
    Just like with polygamy and chikd marriages. That would make our country super secular, and also we should start looking into sati , suucides as well, iand start taking votes on such issue, if all these seem have comedown,
    Wee shud legalize these as well.
    I hope i made it clear why polygamy n child marriages need to be banned, and divorce laws should be secularised
    Even if murder rate come down to zero , we still need anti murder laws.

    The data on Mizoram, could this be a data of women who married a divorcee ?. 10:44 - the question asked by the surveyor, “Beside you does your husband have another wife?” Could have been mistranslated in the local language as to mean did he have any wife apart from you? Reason that I feel the data does not hold true or may be misinterpreted is because Mizoram being a state with high a Christian population where almost everyone or every family is a part of a church congregation and said congregation will not allow such practices nor does the Mizo custom. So its either the data is misinterpreted or the data does not reflect the Mizo Christian community rather other communities in Mizoram. Also as always Mizoram being a state with such a less population any data taken becomes significantly a higher percentage number.

    Hello SG,
    Appreciate you covering this. But calling this not a social issue and a political issue is very demeaning towards the millions of women who lose their basic humane dignity and security because of this. I understand it's also political but at the heart of it this is a social issue. Also the idea that muslims en mass hesitate to criticize polygamy is concerning.

    I'm in total favor of Uniform Civil Code, constitution should come first before any religion.
    But I don't understand why people think this is a masterstroke and something BJP is betting on winning the election? If we think about top 10 issues in the country, does this even crack into top 10? Is UCC such a big factor in economic growth and prosperity of the country and the people? Of course not. Muslim personal law applies to marriage/divorce and inheritance. How many of muslim men you think have 4 marriages? Given the male-female ratio in the country of course not every muslim person is marrying 4 times.
    If you are worried about demographic changes in the religion that would happen with this change, don't worry, female fertility rate of a muslim person in Kerala is less than that of a Hindu person in UP. I know some smart as* will mention that fertility rate of muslim person in UP is higher, but this is where the economic development comes into the picture. So stop making this issue an existential crisis for Hindus in India.
    Also What happened to the development agenda on which BJP won in 2014? Have people totally forgotten their priorities? Cmon guys, use your mind.

    Why do you keep saying "Fertility rate is just a little bit higher"? Just a little higher fertility rate results in big differences in population numbers. It sounds like dishonest reporting to vaguely keep saying "just a little higher" instead of mentioning the exact numbers. Difference as of 2015 is 0.5 babies per woman, which is not at all "just a little bit higher". 2.6 vs 2.1 fertility rate can cause decent increase in percentage of Muslim population in a period on 30-40yrs.

    About polygamy in Islam:
    It also says only if you can be fair to all those women. There are scholars who argue that it was only allowed because in the Battle of Badr (happened during the time of Prophet Muhammad), many men died. And there were many women left that were widowed and many women that became orphans. So, in order to take care of them God allowed man to marry more than 1 woman but only if they can be fair to all the wives. But it also says in the Quran that you would not be able to be fair between your wives.
    Which makes some scholar argue that polygamy is allowed but really discouraged.
    "If you fear that you may not deal justly with the orphans, then marry [other] women that you like, two, three, or four. But if you fear that you may not treat them fairly, then [marry only] one, or [marry from among] your slave-women. That makes it likelier that you will not be unfair. " (Quran 4:3)
    "You will not be able to be fair between wives, even if you are eager to do so. Yet do not turn away from one altogether, leaving her as if in a suspense. But if you are conciliatory and Godwary, Allah is indeed all-forgiving, all-merciful." (Quran 3:129)

    Takla back with nonsensical arguments!
    He talks nonsense about 'percentage prevalence of polygamy' ad-nauseam! But the critical point is that it is LEGAL for one community and ILLEGAL for another. Claiming that in some random district more Hindus are polygamous than Muslims is disingenuous as Hindus are treated as criminals for the same act that Muslims can openly boast!
    Further, just to mitigate the immorality of LEGAL pedophilia among Muslim community, Takla claims 15yrs as normal puberty! The fact is more than 50% girls attain puberty at age 11. (Hindus having sex with a girl younger than 11 can be hanged!!!!).

    As a Ph.D. Statistician I will tell you one thing clearly: However strong your statistical trends are (in favor or against), they cannot replace the moral and ethical principles of modern society. Polygamy, triple talaq, etc. are medieval practices unfit for current societal norms. Whether they go down or up, no section of the population should be "legally" allowed to practice it. So, you may present 1001 statistics stating that those who are entitled to practice it legally are not doing so, but it does not replace the responsibility of the govt. and paid channels like you to preach it in any sense. State clearly that these practices must be made illegal (long back) if you plan to carry out responsible journalism. Sorry for my harsh tone, but I am appalled to see statistic after statistic which in short trying to undermine an effort of the current govt. to make an unjustified mediavall practice under the law to make it illegal.

That will be a true picture of how Indian society is improving in terms of polygamy. We are not considering how polygamy is trending with every increasing period of marriage.

The intervals may vary, but power will rotate only between these two forces. Both parties have a dedicated voter base. For BJP, it is the Hindutva vote, and for INC, it is the Muslim voter base. The trump cards are held by the "First time" and loyalty-shifting "Floating" voter. All other issues are meaningless.
