If you are referring to the question you asked in the thread on polygyny, then the reason I did not answer when I returned the the thread after I awakened is because the question was quite off topic and you seemed upset at people taking your thread in different directions. The question had nothing to do with polygyny. The answer I would have given you is that you must not have understood what I was saying, because it is not a question that can be answered in that form. (It is the same if you had asked the question about the "rights" of the husband.) It would be more accurate to ask about the duties and responsibilities of each. There is no room for ego in the marriage.
