Bilal Abdul Kareem, a journalist based in Syria has revealed why he still washes the dishes in his house, despite having three wives.
Man With Three Wives Reveals Why He Washes Plates After Meal
In a Twitter post, the man said many people do not know the responsibilities of being the head of a polygamous home.
Kareem, who shared a photo of himself doing dishes in the kitchen, said polygamy is not about sex or being the leader of a large family that are in service to him.
He noted that he is following in the footsteps of Prophet Mohammed who he claimed was in service to his three queens.
He wrote; “Some people think 3 wives is all about sex & being the boss. Being the leader of a large family means that I’m in service to them.
“Just as Prophet Muhammad was in service to his family. If my 3 Queens can take care of the kids every day then I can wash some dishes sometimes too.”
A Twitter user questioned why he is giving the impression that washing plates or taking care of the kids is the sole duty of a woman.
He said; “For starters, why do you think dishwashing or caring of your own children is the wife’s job?
“You seem to be portraying as if you are doing her a favor when it is your equal responsibility as a father and husband.”
In his response, Kareem said; “This is the way I see it: We have specific roles but we can help each other out when we can.
“For example, if there is no money or food in the house I’m not going to look at her and say, “It’s your fault!”, because it’s not. It would be my fault.”
KanyiDaily recalls that a polygamist pastor said there is no advantage to polygamy, stressing that it is only filled with chaos and drama.
