Okay kiddo, so you know how some families have one mommy and one daddy, right? Well, in some countries where people follow Islam, which is a religion, some families have one daddy and many mommies. This is called polygyny.
But why would they do that, you might ask? Well, some people believe that it's allowed in Islam and that it's a way to take care of more women and children. So, a man might marry more than one woman if he can take care of them equally and if all the women agree to it.
Now, even though it's allowed in Islam, it's not something everyone does or agrees with. Some people think that it's not fair to treat women like objects or to have too many wives to take care of properly. Plus, just because it's allowed doesn't mean it's a good idea for everyone.
In the end, it's something that people can do if they want to, but they should really think about whether it's the right thing for them and for the people they love.
