A Muslim lady stirred up discussions on Instagram by stating, “A man who earns N70k monthly can marry 2 wives.” This post ignited various reactions, including one notably dismissive comment: “Religion na for poor man.”
This statement suggests a perception that religious practices, particularly polygamy, are linked to financial instability. It highlights a broader societal sentiment where some view religion as a fallback for those who cannot achieve certain societal standards, such as financial security.
Such comments can be reductive, oversimplifying the complexities of faith and personal choice. While economic factors play a role in marital decisions, religion often encompasses deeper values and beliefs that transcend mere financial considerations. It’s essential to approach discussions about religion and marriage with a nuanced understanding that respects diverse perspectives.
