Coli brehs/brehetts,

Anyone who is well leaned on the institution care to share its roots? If you could point me in the direction of some dope literature to read that would be awesome as well.

Overall, my results confirm the theoretical plausibility of what has been viewed as a critical step in the evolution of our own species—the transition from promiscuity to strong pair-bonding. The model shows that such a sexual revolution could have been initiated by low-ranked males who started provisioning females to get matings; after the process got underway, it would lead to a kind of self-domestication, and the end result is a group-living species comprised of provisioning males and largely faithful females.

....​

The transition to strong pair-bonding opened a path to intensified male parental investment, which was a breakthrough adaptation with multiple anatomical, behavioral, and physiological consequences for early hominids and all of their descendants. The establishment of pair-bonding shifted competition between males for mates, which was potentially destructive for the group, to a new dimension which is beneficial for the group —competition to be a better provider to get better mates. Pair-bonding provided a foundation for the later emergence of the institution of modern family as an outcome of additional processes, such as wealth accumulation and inheritance. Pair-bonding also made possible the recognition of male kin, dramatically expanding the efficiency of kin selection and helping by grandparents, leading to stronger within-group coalitions and alliances, and allowing for subsequent evolution of widespread cooperation in general

Self-control is what separates humans from animals and monogamy precedes 'religion' by several tens of thousands of years if not more.​

To sum-up: Monogamy was an evolutionary breakthrough for human beings that enabled us to progress as a species above all others thousands of years ago.

Those advocating for multiple partners are, in fact, inhibiting our species' progress and endangering our continued existence.​

The exact opposite of this.

Monogamy is a choice.

may you guide the knowledge seekers breh imam



Surah 24. An-Nur, Ayah 26 | Alim.org

Malik : Unclean women are for unclean men, and unclean men are for unclean women; and pure women are for pure men, and pure men are for pure women. They are free from the slanderer's accusations; for them there shall be forgiveness and honorable provision from Allah.

Pickthall : Vile women are for vile men, and vile men for vile women. Good women are for good men, and good men for good women; such are innocent of that which people say: For them is pardon and a bountiful provision.

There were several societies/civilizations where monogamy was not the norm.

Monogomy is a European concept that vastly influenced Western culture. A lot of ancient cultures in the East dealt with polygamy, especially the Hebrews.

disturbing news from the motherland

Revealed: Why Lagos Women End Up Being Single Mothers

The presence of single mothers is becoming a widespread phenomenon in Lagos. In the past, people look at them with contempt and speak of their situation with disapproval. Although the scrutiny hasn’t totally disappeared, their increased number is becoming a norm.

Here are reasons most women end up being single mothers in Lagos:

1. Men’s Decision To Walk Out on Family: It’s not news anymore for some men to walk out on their family and go start life afresh with other women. It’s usually a devastating experience for the women when they are suddenly left with sole responsibility of raising children by themselves. The city is an ever bubbling one and there are enough distractions to make the men leave. Moreover, some men are not ready to take on the responsibility of being fathers. They abscond as soon as they get to know a baby is on board. This irresponsible act of men could turn the unsuspecting women into single mothers.

2. Societal Pressure: In an environment like Lagos, when men cheat on their wives and exhibit various traits that aren’t promising, the women are quick to move on. There are so many successful forces to be reckoned with or looked up to as role models. These often spin the women into action and they put back the broken pieces of their life. With many people sharing their experiences, the women may make the legal move and set themselves free from the clause of marriage and start living as single mothers.

3. Career: With a booming economy, women don’t want to be tied down. The city offers lots of opportunities. This has restructured some women and has made them career oriented; they have attained enviable heights in their fields. They find it difficult to give up that part of them. They are liberated women and have high prospects for the future. Men often have issues with this type of women since it is difficult dominating them. At the expense of relationships, they often choose career over everything. They believe they have all it takes to raise children.
4. Reckless Adventure: Lagos with its trendy lifestyle and feisty environment is never quiet. With loads of interesting places to visit and see, it’s always fun time. Unsuspecting young women get caught up in the frenzy of the bubbly city. They may hang out with a couple of people and keep the fun rolling. They get carried away by the excitement and get pregnant at the long run. Motherhood spring up on them and before long, they join the unending list of single mothers.

5. Relativity: It’s all relative. What works for one man could be detrimental to the other. Some women choose to be single mothers all by themselves. This is single mother by choice; some women crave to be that. Some of these women have gone past the marriageable age but desire to have children. While some choose to be single mothers because they resent being controlled by men.
