- gher-shyu3i 6y agoPolygamy does not mean single parent household. It is required by Islamic law that the father provide equal time to his wives. We've had none of the issues associated with modern single family households in Islamic history. The father is always present and performed his duties. Edit: those economist articles are committing one of the most basic fallacies: correlation vs. causation. South Sudan has so many issues that it's ridiculous to blame them on polygamy.
