Is monogamy truly possible?

If one looks at the animal kingdom, animals frequently keep changing partners and they consider it as a normal thing. Man is the only animal required to live in a monogamous relationship and he does a very bad job in mainlining it. These days over 60% of married men and women end up having an extramarital relationship. The result is often bitter and leads to violence, arguments, divorces and even murders. Is monogamy truly possible?

Monogamy is possible if the couples truly love each other. If they truly care about each other they would not give in to this temptation.

Actually monogamy arises from social customs and not natural instinct. On the other hand, animals go by natural instinct. True love may not necessarily be also ever lasting. You may be truly loving at the moment but nothing can be said about future. Not love- true or false- but social responsibility is main basis for monogamy.

A man with integrity and principles will never commit adultery

Not necessarily. But we have to accept the truth, though bitter that light and shade, good and bad are part of our lives and to learn to live with them adjust to them accordingly.
Discarding bad or good completely is a situation that never exists. Its all in the individual’s hand.

Monogamy is very much possibler and is not really very hard, it depends on a person mostly and surrounding social factors are the ones that also influence. Also it is a myth that all animals are polygamous, there are many species of animals who are monogamous and remain faithful to their partner for life!

These are desirable for orderly and smmoth functioning of society.

Polygamy is legal in Muslims under Shariat, the Muslim Personal Law .Though it's less in Muslims. For Adivasis and some tribal communities, in India Polygamy is legal.

Yes monogamy is a cultural influence. It's the society that influences a man to be monogamous or polygamous. Monogamy is not an influential factor for the smooth functioning of a country.

Polygamy is indeed legal and accepted in Arab nations but we all know what kind of lives those women have to lead - utterly disgusting and desperate! It is not really a polygamous condition but more of male dominance over women. If ever true polygamy exists, it is only amongst tribes where even women are freely allowed to practice polygamy and such relationships are merely for convenience and yet they are harmonious in nature without any of them leading to personal or societal discord.

I have never heard about any woman who had more than one husband, except in Mahabharat. Polygamy is a generally a male trait. Women by nature want to settle with one man who could help her and her offspring. She may have many relationships but in the end settle with only one man. Men on the other hand want to plant their seed in as many women as they can, thus ensuring their genetic continuity.

Man by nature is polygamous. We see historic evidences kings used to maintain Harems. In fact maintaining a harem was seen as a status symbol in those days.

Until very recently people from Tibet freely practiced polygamy in case of women, where one woman was married to more than two brothers in the same family. Even now it is still being practiced in those parts, although not very common now. In numerous tribes across the world, including India, polygamy was prevalent for both men and women, it was the way of recognising the natural feelings and instincts of people who could be attracted to other persons of opposite sex and were not limited to single partners. Only now that they are exposed to modern culture and civilisation, which of course is hardly civilized, that they have given up such practices.

Even today this practice can be seen in some villages, where a man's social standing is measured with the number of women he maintains and the number of cattle he possesses in his stable.
