Sobre IBD

Is polygamy moral? Should the Church marry and bless polygamists? Should Europe and America legalise polygamy? What really is the African’s honest opinion of polygamy? David Maillu is a leading African literary writer, and here provocatively discusses these issues. He looks at the relevance of polygamy in the modern society, from historical, ethical, traditional, economic, biblical and psychological standpoints.
